COMMISSIONER: No place for OJT

| April 29, 2026 1:00 AM

We have two candidates from which to choose to be our next commissioner in District 1 in the second-largest county in the state. The position pays about $108,992. 

One candidate has been campaigning for the job for several years. He has no large institutional experience, no degrees remotely associated with the responsibilities, no relevant job experience, and earns a fraction of the commissioner salary. If you are supporting this person because of his faith and good works, have you asked yourself about the remote possibility of a motive including purse and power? Politicians across the country, at every level, have succumbed to this. And if the faith is that powerful, dare I say we need him in his current role more than where it’ll be OJT (on-the-job-training). Being a remarkable Christian does not qualify one for the Olympics or co-leading our county.
