It’s been rumored for a year or so that Ms. Hoffman should be replaced. Several people in the know suggest our election record keeping is not what we expect in our low density conservative county. Maybe this is an almost too late opportunity for our BOS to select not a friend but the best possible candidate for this important position. We can only hope.
Mr. Steele, Shame on you! if you are going to accuse somebody of something, then do so. But, alluding to rumors and innuendo with no proof whatsoever, is beyond the pale. How can we expect to get good people in government when we have people like you treating them in an unfair and disgusting manner. You should either share your facts, or apologize to Ms. Hoffman.
