Too much power resides with BCRCC chairman

Following the Sept. 19 meeting of the Bonner County Republican Central Committee, a follow-on Sept. 27 article in the Bee piqued my attention. The title was “BCRCC approves vacation of treasurer’s seat.”

Since the main purpose of that night’s meeting was a hearing regarding the no-confidence votes of two elected officials, I wondered who else had stepped into the crosshairs, so I read on.

The sentence that stood out was, “All BCRCC treasurer duties will be handled by BCRCC Chair Scott Herndon until another member is appointed to the position.” How can that be? Can one person hold two different executive positions in the same organization?
