The primary is in March, with the general election the following November. Nominating petitions will be available starting Sept. 3. Six of the 12 county board members who drew two-year terms during the 2012 reorganization will have to run again next year.
That’s true for Chris Berner, recently appointed to replace Mike Schultz, who resigned because he moved out of District 3. Bill Pysson (District 1), a Democrat, and Republicans Marion Thornberry (District 3) and Ron Wait (District 2), all said they planned to run again. Kenny Freeman (District 3) said he was leaning toward not seeking re-election. Berner said he probably would run to finish out Schultz’s four-year term.
Fidder and Johnson, could not be reached, but are expected to run again.
“Normal business practices are not necessarily being practiced here and I’m troubled by that,” Pysson said of one reason he’d like to continue serving. “So I ask questions.”
Animal services building
One of his questions is where does board chairman Bob Walberg stand on building a new home for Animal Control Services? “It seems he has the support to do what he wants,” Pysson said. “I’d hate to see us take five months to develop a building plan and have him turn it down.”
He’d also like to know where the county board stands on the animal control matter.
