County Staff Allegation on Volunteers Challenged by Community Testimony
Channel: Yu Te

It's not everyday that County Commissioners are asked to rescind the appointment of volunteers appointment to citizen advisory committees.

Watch this odd event unfold.

Starts off with the allegations by two county staff. You can see a little smirk from the last staff to speak. Then the public testimony begins, and credibly cast serious doubts on the allegations.

Possibly trying to stem the damage Commissioner Meieran attempted to stop the public testimony before Yuki could go. Commissioner Stegman seconded and makes the odd comment that they needed to stop the testimonies to get more information. Commissioner Smith scores another point by stating that they can get more information from all those waiting to speak under oath.

Commissioner Loretta Smith also made other good points:
1. Question whether County have the authority to rescind appointments
2. States that in the fact finding that accusations need to be made under oath.

Do the commissioners realize the county staff may have made a mistake in the rushed allegation?

Why the rushed hit job?

Will the news dig into the information provided by the volunteers?
