DAMAGE: It follows elected ‘leaders’

The three Stooges (Trustees Ottosen, Hanley and Plass) who are piloting the Clown Car known as the Community Library Network continue their erratic drive to demolish our wonderful local library system.

Having completely ignored staff advice, common sense and the practical and business implications of considering a change in insurers while dealing with major damage claims arising from severe water damage to two of our important community libraries, these folks canceled the library’s existing insurance coverage through the well regarded Idaho Counties Risk Management Program, and selected a more expensive alternative only to find that the insurer they chose now declines to provide the coverage, due to the consistently irrational mismanagement that these three Trustees have brought to the Community Library Network Board of Trustees.

One of those three has proposed running for County Commissioner. Really? Will that individual run on their record of sound management and rational decision making?  

Based on their mismanagement of the library, will these “rated and vetted” folks be considered for higher office? If so, they can join our “rated and vetted” Assessor, who continues to blame everyone except the janitor at the county building for the errors in our tax bills.
