Tensions were high Tuesday after Bonner County Commissioner Luke Omodt moved to postpone six of Commissioner Asia Williams’s seven agenda items because he alleged they were brought before the board incorrectly.
Another packed agenda is expected for the Bonner County commissioners Tuesday meeting, with Commissioner Asia Williams placing seven items on the list.
Bonner County is being threatened with a lawsuit by a local resident who claims Commissioner Luke Omodt has caused her physical and emotional harm by looking at her when he said lies will not be tolerated during a meeting.
On Dec. 19, Dian Welle sent an email to the county prosecutor demanding that Omodt publicly apologize for looking at her during a meeting as he reiterated the rules of the public comment section of the meeting.
The Bonner County commissioners’ meeting ended in a nearly one-and-a-half-hour recess yesterday after Commissioner Asia Williams pulled out her own microphone in an attempt to continue the discussion after the chairman had already called for a vote on an agenda item.
