Wayward Commissioner Dave Schoolcraft
People in these parts
don't expect much from elected leaders. Consequentially we
don't get much from those elected by the people. Over the
years we've seen some real let downs.
Back in 2004, Commissioner Tim Butcher quit coming to public meetings after getting beat by Peter Triplett in the Primary election. He still collected his check but was known as the "no show" commissioner. His absence did little to demand his resignation.
A little in the last decade Commissioner Mathew Bragg did likewise and was titled the "He Ain't Comin"... once again he collected his taxpayer funded check. See article down below
School Boardster Charlie Osborne lived over in Nicholas County while serving on the County Clay Board. O Gene King moved out of his voting district in Maysel but yelp, you got it, he kept on attending Board meetings and collecting his $$. In both cases, citizens did not rise up and seek justice.
There have been others.
Including now, David Schoolcraft who has missed more County Commission meetings than attending in 2024.
For some meetings he hasn't even attempted to make it look like he's doing what the voters demanded four years ago when a majority put him in office. Maybe the most important Commission duty is setting the new year budget for the Courthouse offices. That's normally done in Feb or March of each year.
It is our believe that Commissioner Schoolcraft was a no show for this year's budget meeting. He didn't even participate via a tele connection.
The pattern will continue unless citizens revolt. How about you?
