Omodt continues to disrespect the people

Once again, Bonner County Commissioner Luke Omodt has disrespected the people. 

In the egregious Jan. 9, 2024, Bonner County Board of County Commissioners meeting, Luke Omodt declared two recesses (90 minutes, and two hours), because he did not like the dialog that was occurring.

After the 90-minute recess, the meeting resumed only to have him declare a 5-minute recess and then enter the executive session. After the executive session, the meeting resumed until Luke declared a two-hour recess. As a result, a meeting that began at 9 a.m. did not end until after 3 p.m.

Luke obstructed the public comment of two citizens who were calmly reading their statements, and he disrespected the lieutenant sheriff who was present. There were several statute and ordinance violations, and at least three separate Bonner County citizens have filed complaints with our prosecuting attorney for action. Watch the meeting on YouTube to see for yourselves, and I invite you to attend future BOCC meetings, held Tuesdays at 9 a.m.
