Representation was a main issue among those who turned out Thursday for a listening session about whether the Douglas County Commission should expand from three members to five. The commission tabled the topic this summer because few residents had expressed interest in the idea, but Commission Chair Shannon Portillo said that after media coverage of that decision, the commission heard from “quite a few folks.” That led the county to schedule Thursday’s listening session. “Our goal today is to listen and to hear from the community,” Portillo said.
