What a sad county we have become, stuck in the past, living a philosophy of who's right instead of doing what's right.
The Board of County Commissioners is getting Lewis County sued by the YMCA for the county's proud little defiance. A third-grader could have seen this was a bad decision. Who do you think will win that lawsuit, the giant national beneficial organization or the stuck-up ornery little red county? Will the county then need to declare bankruptcy? We made bad choices last election and it is showing. When you elect people who bring their petty agenda to county government, you get what you deserve.
And our sheriff, who made Lewis County famous across the nation for not only opposing the law, but openly defying it? Charming.
Someone bigger and more ethically focused is going to investigate Aron Christensen's murder, and Lewis County will come out with egg on their face once again. I wonder if there was criminal obstruction of justice there.
It is past time for Lewis County to join the 2023 world. It is necessary for the awkward little red people to admit their GOP is off the rails. Are you proud to be part of the GOP clown circus?
Lewis County can do better. We can start today, by doing what's right instead of asking who's right.
