Chairman Walberg request appointment of entire Regional Planning Commission just 24 hours before county Board Meeting

UPDATE:  Appointments were postpone until next month by Mr. Walberg based upon the request of board member.  Note two appoints for the Housing board were apparently ass to appointments the day of the meeting.

Bill’s question:  Did anyone else apply?

Also read:  Mr. Walberg’s Refusal to Reappoint Mr. Luhman  http://boonecountywatchdog.blogspot.com/2012/12/mrwalberg-decides-not-to-reappoint-bill.html

The five applicant’s application letters are available on the posting above or at:  http://www.boonecountywatchdog.blogspot.com/2013/01/applicant-letters-for-five-regional.html

In the the case of Mr. Tony Savino the county board has not even been supplied the address of the applicant. Nor does the letter have a signature. See the applicant letters at the above mentioned location.  Is this:  SAVINO Anthony 17750 Beaverton Rd Capron?  Google Search has two entries for such a person and for Savino Construction Company.
