The local newspapers report that the newly appointed airport manager is threatening to sue the County Commissioners for their failure to honor the contract he signed with the Airport Commissioners. Last year the former manager and assistant manager of the airport sued to make the same point. They won and a $900,000 triple damage judgment was entered against the county, which has appealed the judgment.
How much this latest case will cost the taxpayers is unknown. But, it does look as though there will be a question on the November ballot asking whether a board should be appointed to once more investigate whether we should continue to have a county government. I haven't studied the matter extensively, but sense that the problem is not the form of government, it's the people elected as commissioners.
