Someone Is Bitter
Scott lost the Republican primary for District 38 last week to former state Sen. Mike Rose.
He called a meeting of the county legislative delegation Thursday to talk about re-evaluating at least some board members whose terms have expired.
He didn’t get any support from the three House members who joined him in council chambers.
“Replacing any of these people before the November election would be suicide,” said Rep. Annette Young, also a Republican.
Nobody in the audience of about 50 supported the idea. Critics called it payback.
If Scott has been so concerned about the quality of those serving on the elections board wouldn’t the time to bring that up have been several months back prior to the primary race? You’d think if he was so worried about the people serving on this board he would have wanted any issues corrected before an election in which he was facing an inside challenger, unless of course he wasn’t worried about losing. Now, that he did, it’s an issue.
