How abut a true Citizens Commission instead of a politically picked Citizens Commission. No one that works for the state, city or village government, big oil, or big business. Business owners under 25 employees could be accepted.
A representative from one of the Missions
A Fisherman/woman
A Gold Miner
A representative of the arts. Could be gallery owner or artist.
A Junior or Senior in High School

You get the genera idea. Far from perfect I know, but better minds can expand upon the idea.  
It is most certainly a better choice than the Commission I see being hand picked by those that are supposed to be serving us.
