Two members of the previous selection committee are now applicants for the job of commissioner – Don Peabody and Fred Messerle
the new selection panel is all new people
According to the online version of the bird cage liner, many of the selection panel are candidates for the commissioner job?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about most of these people either. Gail will have some details up tomorrow but the guardian of the commissioners office didn’t make me a copy of the applications, etc…
My top picks, based upon what I do know so far are Randy Sanne and, of course, the indefatigable, Jody McCaffree – neither have any hidden agendas
And a partridge in a pear tree! PLEASE, a thumbnail sketch of each candidate. Sorry but we on the southwest corner of the county dont know half these folks. The husband of the SCDC queen? That’s lovely. The wife of the profesional politician county HR DIrector and airport board chairman? Indefatiguable (spelling?) Jody McCaffree, love her or whatever, has demonstrated that she has the people’s interest first; she will give you 36 hour days; and her work weeks have nine days. She may not like me but she gets my vote. Certainkly would balance the lovefest of the present two commissioners.
