Democrats and the democratian combine in an effort to overturn the election.

As we all know by now, the fringe left whackers and their newspaper simply cannot stand conservative control of the county commission.

The result?

An effort at a coup to overturn the will of the voters... and effort the rag will provide thousands of dollars worth of free, in-kind contributions in an effort to make that happen.

The local democrat party is throwing a snit because their two candidates, Marc Boldt and Joe Tanner, were thoroughly crushed in the last election.  The result?

The cancer on our community calls this effort, led, organized and financed by democrats as a "non-partisan effort."  It takes a genuine moron to believe that, and a genuine liar to print it.

Some in Clark County say they don't want to wait for freeholders to determine if the board of county commissioners should expand its ranks.

To that end, folks are circulating a petition asking anyone who wants to see a bigger board to sign on.

"The freeholder process will take another year and a half," said Candy Bonneville, a county resident helping to lead the campaign. "And there are no promises (an expansion of the board) will go on the new charter. We're not optimistic about leaving all our eggs in that basket."

The freeholders are a part of the home rule process being undertaken by the county. Home rule allows voters to change local government in the manner they see fit, as long as it falls within the laws of the state and abides by the U.S. Constitution.

To that end, the commissioners have authorized the November election of 15 nonpartisan freeholder positions. The freeholders will then draft a proposed county charter and send it to voters for final approval.

Two major changes to county government — expanding the board of commissioners and creating an elected county executive — have been both ballyhooed and maligned by groups within the county.

A nonpartisan group led by Auditor Greg Kimsey, a Republican, and Commissioner Steve Stuart, a Democrat, has said expansion of the board is the way to go. Both elected officials have said the goal is to have five commissioners, while lowering individual commissioner salaries in an effort to keep the cost the same to taxpayers.

One of the democrats running this show (No Republicans are involved) even admitted it:

"The freeholder process will take another year and a half," said Candy Bonneville, a county resident helping to lead the campaign. "And there are no promises (an expansion of the board) will go on the new charter. We're not optimistic about leaving all our eggs in that basket."

In other words, we're throwing a leftist tantrum and want to ignore the results of the last election.

It will be interesting to see what these punks do when they lose the next one as well.
