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.
