Yooper, let your City and County Commissioners know your opinion. I understand that comes with a price tag.
The County Commisioners are beyond hope, and I may have a slight problem complaining to the City!
Things may be changing at the county level; Earl retained his chairmanship by only one vote, 4-3, over Don. I also am hearing well-founded rumors that Earl may be facing a recall and that it is being pushed by Don and Debbie.
Also, I don't know if Murph told you, but Earl got pasted by Don in one of the County meeting minutes, which you should know how to find. Earl wanted to go into closed session to discuss the circumstances of your leaving, but Don put Earl's butt in the frying pan by saying that would be a violation of the open meetings act, so Earl made some recorded statements that IMO bordered on slander. You and your attorney might want to check that out.
Hope all is well with you and the family. Say hi for me and let me know if there is anything I can do for you up here (check on your house, etc).
Best regards....
Yooper
