Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

To the citizens of Crook County: in 2022 the Legislature passed a bill mandating training for boards and elected officials. 

The intent was probably good, however there is a clause that enables removal of persons that don’t comply. 

The training (possibly indoctrination) is 8 hours!!!

Very few people have the time to accomplish this!!

Some have been threatened with removal. 

If you have, please let me know right away. 

I personally will not comply for several reasons. We offer training for our boards and don’t need the heavy-handed higher authorities mandating this. 

Please contact me if you are also concerned about this overreach.

Kelly Dennis 

Crook County Commissioner
