Today's Video Clip: During last week's public hearing at the County Commission meeting regarding the $500,000 + settlement with Lange. Former Commissioner Mike Doherty commented on that topic, here are the two clips I got from those comments:

Also, during last week's meeting Port O Call's Dale Wilson spoke.

Wilson did make a valid point in his speech, that those responsible for the public record fiasco, and other parts of this settlemet with Lange, should be paying the bill, not the taxpayer, that is something I agree with.
