We Started withe Clean Energy Harvest conference, and a few days after that I ended up filing for the chairmanship of the Hood River County Commission. That immediately touched off a firestorm of protest! It was a crazy couple of weeks. I've never been called so many names for wanting to spend more time away from my family.
The furor culminated in what was called by bunch of people "The Monday night Lynching" I was asked to resign, and the current Chair, Rodger Schock, in a very classy move, actually did resign.
Here's the room just before the fireworks began..............
And here's what I went and did afterward.........
The result of the protest was that I've agreed to "stand still" in my election while the protest candidate, a Mr. Ron Rivers attempts to get on the ballot for the Fall election. I'll reserve my personal comments on this public post, but suffice it to say, no good deed goes unpunished in Hood River County. Ron Rivers seems like a nice guy, and I'll look forward to working with him.
Lets see....
Had an AWESOME Wine Dinner with Charlie Hoppes as our guest. His wines are very, very nice, and the food was over the top. I cannot wait until the Penner-Ash Dinner in May.
