The Sawyer County Zoning Committee meeting that was to be held on Friday June 20 is now scheduled for Friday July 11. The meeting had to be cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of a quorum. This just shouldn't happen. Published Public Hearings were to be held. Citizens arranged their schedules to be there. Committee members didn't?

A petition signed by nearly 500 citizens has been filed with Barron County asking that County Administrator Duane Hebert be placed on administrative leave. The petition further asks for the position of County Administrator to be abolished. While the petition is only advisory in nature, Chairman Jess Miller has stated the issue will be "properly addressed".

According to a news release from Barron County...
