Montgomery elected officials are confounded by a recent survey that reported nearly 60 percent of area residents say the county does not do a good job of listening to its residents, when leaders are reaching out to constituents in town hall meetings, call-in television talk shows and chat sessions over the Internet.

The survey, which was mailed to 3,000 households and completed by more than 900 residents in September, noted that while residents may have accused county leaders of not listening, the majority had never attended a meeting with local officials.
