WINONA — What a difference a couple years make.
At the first meeting of the Winona County Board of Commissioners in 2019, three commissioners who represent the City of Winona battled to seat one of their own as chairwoman of the board then — as was recently ruled in a district court case against the county — colluded with an outside organization to place biased individuals on the county's Board of Adjustments.
During Tuesday's meeting, the board voted to allow Commissioner Marcia Ward to continue as chairwoman, a post she also held in 2020. After Ward nominated Commissioner Steve Jacob for the post — the nomination was not seconded — Commissioner Chris Meyer then nominated Ward, and the motion passed unanimously.
