Washington County Board May Reconsider

There are apparently some misgivings amongst Washington County Board members over their "two" narrow votes to renege on the agreement with Cabela’s.

According to the Daily News, indications are that there “may” be a special meeting called for May 22nd for such a review.

The Minutes of the 5/8 meeting have still not found their way to the county website, so we don’t yet know who voted how; but that will come out soon.

Let’s hope that the board restores the integrity of our county. And, may this serve the board well as a reminder that every vote is important; and that each member must be certain of his or her position.

This is becoming mindful of some of our presidential candidates on both sides that seem to want to change their minds when public opinion turns out to be against a stand. A stand taken should be capable of being defended with reason; if it could not be so defended, then maybe it shouldn't be taken in the first place.

Unintended consequences come back to haunt over and over again.
