This is hardly surprising. All Moss and his fellow MAGA-OI crowd is doing is that since they have taken over a number of branches of our government [Ottawa County Board of Commissioners is only one part of the nationwide take over) they just show that they had refused to pay attention in their high school civics and government classes and when like minded voters elect them the only result we can expect is chaos, wasteful spending, cronyism, and totally bad government. If they hire one of their friends to be our County Administrator for $250,000 the new County Commission will have to fire the Administrator and pay severance of another $250,000. So what we are seeing is Moss and OI trying to give one of their allies $500,000 of our tax money. I think we have better things to do with our tax money than give another of their cronies a half a million dollars.

It would be incredibly fun to see the new Board Chair establish a “Committee to Waste Time Drafting Useless Proclamations To Entertain The Juveniles”, with Moss as Chair, Rhodea as Vice-Whatever Joe Says, Miedema as Defender of 60% Raises, and Wenzel as Supreme Priestess of Conspiracy Theories. They’ll be so busy tilting at windmills (no pun intended), they won’t have time to screw up any other committees. That alone should save us a couple million over the next two years.

One has to wonder if indemnification protects Moss for his private decisions outside of public meetings?

The good news for the last guy standing, his salary will go from $70k to 200k plus ancillary stuff.

Mr. Buist and Professor Kolk's comments prompt an interesting question...could the new board challenge the contracts with the new admin and the "search firm" based on the OMA?

If you haven’t had a chance to watch this morning’s hilarity, I’ve shared a clip below.

Trying to understand how they “started the process this summer…” when the so-called “Executive Search Committee” wasn’t presented on an agenda until September 24th? Yet another OMA violation? A reminder that the 8/27 meeting was cancelled due to “lack of agenda items”.
