I have a question for the people who re-elected Jeff Burrows for county commissioner. Mr. Burrows is one of three commissioners who appointed Valerie Stamey as treasurer, a decision that cost us, the taxpayers, more than $120,000 in damage control. With that in mind, if Mr. Burrows were a Democrat or Independent instead of a Republican, would you have voted for him? I think we all know the answer to that question. Apparently because Jeff Burrows is a Republican and apologized for what he did, he gets a pass. It looks like from his election that a lot of Republicans value incompetence, and they reward it too.
