Proehl Discusses Recall and Benefits of Wind Farms

 

The news of a possible recall of a county commissioner in Labette County has started to spread to a state and inter-state level. In one article a county citizen alluded to the possible recall attempt of another commissioner. District 3 Commissioner Cole Proehl says it's unfortunate that he is being threatened to be recalled if he doesn't do exactly what one group would like even if it benefits the rest of the county.

 

Commissioner Proehl says the resolution he wrote is meant to be a starting point for negotiations.  Labette County has had problems recently keeping and hiring new employees mostly due to the lack of pay. Wind energy expansion into the county could be a potential solution to paying employees more without raising taxes.
