Standard-Examiner: AUDIO: Hearing Gets Ugly Over Proposed Weber Recorder Cuts

A mere tempest in a teapot?  Or would Commissioners Bell and Gibson possibly benefit from a brief but intensive enrollment in charm school "boot camp?"

Thanks to a nudge from one of our gentle Weber County Forum readers, we'll cast the spotlight this morning on Wednesday's Standard-Examiner story, which memorializes Tuesday's Weber County Commission meeting, wherein "[s]parks flew as Weber County commissioners discussed the recorder/surveyor’s 2015 budget, laying bare factions that have simmered within the county for several months":

• AUDIO: Hearing gets ugly over proposed Weber recorder cuts

“We care, there’s no question” “The first thing I was told by your new appointed person, ‘why don’t you come over and run our office or show us how to do it.’ We’ll be happy to if that’s what you want. We’ll come over and do that, but that was a ridiculous statement,” “Figure out who’s going to run your office over there, pick a person, hopefully it’s you (Kilts), you’re the elected person,” “[I'm] really concerned about what kind of leadership we’re going to have in that office.”Sez Commissioner Matthew Bell.

“It’s a partnership, it’s a collaboration and I think that we need to get that straight right now that there is full confidence in the person that is elected, and you are equal in power,” [Commissioner] Zogmaister told Bell.
[Commissioner] Gibson, who frequently runs interference between Bell and Zogmaister, jumped in.
“You know what? I’m going to call that one garbage,” Gibson said as Bell interjected “Yes!” in the background.

Down in the lower comments seaction, one Standard-Examiner reader even suggests that "It seems these gentlemen commissioners have a problem working with women." Imagine that!

So whattaya think, folks?  A mere tempest in a teapot?  Or would Commissioners Bell and Gibson possibly benefit from a brief but intensive enrollment in charm school "boot camp?"
