Mark Shull suggests disbanding Clackamas County veterans council
Move follows meeting where elected commissioner spoke with advisory group to discuss derogatory statements.
Clackamas County is investigating whether its Veterans Advisory Council (VAC) improperly used time to engage in a dialogue with Commissioner Mark Shull regarding disparaging statements he made on Facebook regarding Muslims and other groups.
During their March 4 meeting, Shull suggested to his fellow county commissioners that its VAC be dissolved in its current form and re-established using an application process looking at the military biographies of those interested in serving on the committee. Shull, a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, said the goal of this reform would be to strip the council of any partisanship.
