@Scratchingmyhead Thank you for your kind words. I do take public service and the responsibilities that come with it seriously. It was a difficult decision to step down, but I am continuing to serve in my new role. Thanks for taking an interest and being a part of the conversation!

I’m sorry to hear that Kristin Judge is resigning from the board. I always thought she was one of the more conscientious Commissioners and very active in taking her responsibilities as a commissioner seriously. I hope that whoever replaces her will be just as effective and not just a continuation of the good ole party line.

Jeff Irwin was first elected to the BOC in such a special election. The BOC had chosen to appoint a different person, who served exactly one month before losing the primary. Jeff beat 3 primary opponents by a determined campaign.

A bill introduced this year in the state Senate – S.B. 204 – would eliminate the special election in odd-numbered years, and allow the appointee for a vacant county commissioner seat to complete the term. Here's a link to a recent Senate Fiscal Agency analysis of the legislation: [link]

I think Jeff relishes the notion of a Judge Judge.

I don’t know why, or what that smiley is supposed to mean.

I wish she would run for the bench. And you know why. :)
