Good evening, Libby! Wanted to correct some facts in the story, pertaining to myself, Sean Dougherty. I have not been appointed to the Board of County Commissioners at this time. The vote for that, will be Thursday evening, as per State Statute. What was said is that there is a vote by the Republican Party Vacancy Committee scheduled for Thursday, and, at the time of the hearing, only one person has entered their name for the position.

The person appointed for the position will hold it until the end of Commissioner Gaiter's term, which will be when the Commissioner elected in November is sworn in, which I believe is the first non-holiday Tuesday of January. I'm not positive on this date.
