Decision on appointing new County Commissioner postponed To replace resigning Ron Downey by Duane Williams, KLCB-KTNY Radio July 30, 2014 The Lincoln County Commissioners were to name a replacement Tuesday morning for resigning Ron Downey. However the Commissioners have postponed the controversial appointment until 3pm Wednesday. It appears the selection is between four "good" candidates, but Commissioner Mike Cole said he was not ready to make a decision. The selection of the appointee is by the currently seated Commissioners. The controversy stems from the question of whether the replacement should be by appointment, or by public election. The county's legal council has indicated it should be by appointment. __________________________________ By Duane Williams, KLCB-KTNY Radio, e-mail: klcb@frontiernet.net, www.klcb-ktny.com Editor’s Note: The Board of Commissioners is the Executive Authority for Lincoln County.
