• DougCo residents seek to expand commissioners from 3 to 5 (castlerocknewspress.net) — Franktown residents are among those who could see their county representation change as Douglas County voters may decide in November whether to expand the Board of Commissioners from three to five members. Petition organizers argue more districts would better reflect rural communities like Franktown, while current commissioners debate at-large versus district-based seats and the costs of adding two positions.
