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 saying he was 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.
Bonner County prosecutors will now be required to attend all Bonner County commissioners’ regular business meetings, including executive sessions, after a motion was approved Tuesday morning.
Bonner County commissioners voted last week to approve drafting a letter to external auditor Hayden Ross regarding the status of an audit of the Bonner County Fair Board.
