After a long time, a district assembly of free voters took place in the mill in Beuerberg.
Josef Niedermaier commented on many big issues.
Eurasburg
- Was it the pleasure to be able to meet again in a large group after more than two years?
Or did the reference to the “Schnitzeltag”, which was referred to in the invitation, lure so many ladies and gentlemen to the general meeting of the Free Voters' Association in the Gasthaus zur Mühle in Beuerberg?
Maybe it was a mixture of both. In any case, Josef Niedermaier was surprised by the unexpected response. "We expected ten to 15 people," confessed the district administrator. More than twice as many had come. And that, although the regular new election had been postponed to next year due to corona.
The last ordinary general meeting took place in the spring of 2019 in the council chambers in Geretsried.
The following year, the invitations were already prepared when Corona thwarted the bill.
For the first time in 25 years in office, cashier Peter Goepfert was able to present his cash report for two years.
Above all, Goepfert emphasized "the great solidarity among the free voters" who, with their voluntary donations, provided the financial means that were "well invested in a successful election campaign".

District Administrator Niedermaier presented Goepfert with a gift basket filled with Italian specialties for "25 years of cashier with passion", before he gave a humorous lecture to review what had been done in the past few months.
Keyword: local public transport.
"We have advanced groundbreaking traffic issues in the district," said Niedermaier.
The aim is to be able to drive from Munich to Lenggries or Kochel with a stripe card through the district-wide connection to the MVV - the north is already connected.

One of the “uncomfortable truths” presented by the district administrator is: “Mobility is important.
But there will no longer be a car for everyone in the future. ”He did not ignore the topic of wind energy either:“ We will not be able to do without it.
We can't push e-cars and we don't want wind turbines, ”said Niedermaier, who currently sees the greatest challenges in the areas of climate, mobility, and social and health care.
"Now it's down to the nitty-gritty."
Slight worry lines formed on his forehead when he finally touched on the subject of Corona and the currently rapidly increasing incidence values ("hidden at over 600, because we can no longer keep up") and possible short-term consequences.
Niedermaier fears: "The pressure on non-vaccinated people will increase enormously." "What is happening now will divide our society massively."
