Didja hear the news? Benton went to work today! Maybe Stuart should quit?

So, all this garbage from Commissioner Stuart.  All this garbage from Brancaccio.

And what did it get us?

Nothing, of course..

No change on Benton

Commissioners spoke their final words at Tuesday's public hearing after The Columbian's press time.

But in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Stuart said he would ask the board to reconsider their action in hiring Benton as, he said, the action went against the board rules the three of them had signed earlier this year.

Madore said on Wednesday he has not changed his mind.

"I've said you never go back and rethink a decision unless you receive new information," Madore said. And when asked if he had heard anything new, he replied, "No."

Mielke was unavailable for comment on Wednesday.

Kinda like what I've been saying all along, eh?

And after throwing his tantrum at the hearing last time, Stuart's lucky he's even got an office in the same building.

Here's the thing, Steve, your temper tantrum ain't enough to undo this.  And you can always feel free to resign in protest if you don't like it.
