Brevard County, Florida

Open questions — at every level

The counting room — where what residents want becomes a number with receipts. There's a question board for every level of government, from your town up to the nation. Each one is advisory signal carried to the body that decides — and it informs the government we have; it never replaces it. No account needed, one voice per sitting, changeable while your window stays open.

the Brevard County questions — their own count, their own votes

These are questions for what Brevard County should do. Each is answered by people here, and at 5000 responses the result is carried to Board of County Commissioners (5 districts).

Storm drains in every Brevard city empty toward the Indian River Lagoon. Should the county’s lagoon program fund one living-filter pilot a year — an oyster reef, a living shoreline, or a nitrogen-removing filter bed — at a city outfall, and publish the water tests before and after?

The Sheriff’s Farm already grows food for the Brevard County jail, and the jail already offers trade certificates. Should the Sheriff and Eastern Florida State College pilot a short farm-and-kitchen certificate that people can start inside and finish after release?

Brevard posts line-item budget spreadsheets for its departments, but none for the Sheriff, Clerk, Tax Collector, Property Appraiser or Supervisor of Elections. Should every county office post its line-item budget the same way?

Ask a question — on the Brevard County board

Ask it in your own words. It's checked against the bright lines, then goes up for support; at 10 supporters it opens for the whole level to answer.

Asking on the Brevard County board — aimed at Board of County Commissioners (5 districts). Switch level above.

The traction rule — what enough responses guarantees

Borrowed from the UK Parliament's petition site, where a signature count obligates a government response: when a live question reaches its threshold of responses, we print the result packet and hand-deliver it to the body that decides — for a city question the city council or town meeting, for a county question the Board of County Commissioners (5 districts), for a state question the Florida legislative delegation, for a national one the district's members of Congress — and stamp the delivery publicly. The threshold is sized to the level, the way real petitions are: a share of the electorate there. Officials aren't obligated to act. They are guaranteed to receive — and what they do next becomes part of the record either way.
