Curious about commissioner’s race?

Anyone curious as to why our local La Plata County commissioner’s race is so sought after? La Plata County commissioners make an annual salary of approximately $109,374, with full benefits including health care for four years, equals $440,000 plus retirement. Was that Jack Turner’s motivation to re-locate his residence to a different district in La Plata County to be able to run for county commissioner again?

Brad Blake wants back in after his four-year run on the LPC dole. Anyone remember Clyde Church relaxing in Mexico for 31 days, as a La Plata County commissioner? He said he showed up for work (on your dime), “remoting” into work as an elected La Plata County official, got busted and called out.

Center left independent voters want folks in office working hard and solving issues like Marsha Porter-Norton. It’s a tough choice. Locals – please vote like you are hiring someone to work for you, not a political party.
