Sounds like saner heads are prevailing.  Good news for justice in Clallam County, and good news for the taxpayer, too.  

I do hope the County moves slowly, with plenty of input from all parties and maybe even the people who pay the bills, us taxpayers, before they create a whole new level of bureaucracy within the county payroll out of what sure seems like spite, or a personality conflict.  

And I hope they follow more normal procedures to fill any new job  --  advertising the job, using normal merit procedures to evaluate candidates, etc.  --  if and when they do create that new level of bureaucracy.  Their recent rush to put a preselected person into a not-yet-created job really smelled pretty unwholesome.

One more hope  --  I sincerely hope Commissioner Peach stops complaining that we are giving poor people too good a defense.  That kind of cruel & careless talk may be okay for Donald Trump, but down here at the local level, it is unconscionable.
