Commissioners made good choice

Heavens to Betsy, let’s hope that Commissioners Cox and Magera do not give any consideration to the persons who submitted a petition recommending Mr. G. Hinkle for the soon to be vacant post. Their demand to be informed why he, Mr. Hinkle, is not appointed is absurd.

In writing they told the commissioners to give them reasons why Mr. Hinkle was not selected, if that be the case.

Not wanting to be unkind, but for County Commissioners anywhere in the United States to give such reasons why one candidate for a position is chosen over another would be asinine.

The comment made to the press that the commissioners selected the person they thought was the best candidate was perfect. Nothing else needs to be said.

To go into detail and offer a more detailed explanation is absurd and dangerous.

Were the commissioners to offer detailed explanations, a group of vociferous dissidents would soon raise an issue with every employee the county hires.

If they were to do what this band of people wants, it could lead to lawsuits against the county and the commissioners and just raise havoc in the county when hiring a new person or a replacement.

Commissioners, you have done well, made a good choice, and gave all the explanation that should be given.

Ignore the dissidents, you have already fulfilled your duties.
