Republican Billings casts lone vote against ‘divisive’ resolution - Commissioners vote to condemn Herrell move
In a 4-1 vote Thursday, Grant County commissioners adopted a resolution that “condemns the votes of [U.S.] Rep. Yvette Herrell objecting to the certification of the electoral votes of the State of Arizona and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” with the commission’s lone Republican member, Billy Billings, casting the single vote against the measure.
Most of Thursday’s livestreamed commission meeting was consumed by public comments. County Manager Charlene Webb and her executive assistant, Taysha Walter, read almost 100 comments into the record over a period of one and a half hours, and, with near-unanimity, public input strongly supported passage of the resolution to condemn Herrell’s actions.
