New Commissioners Sworn In

 

A new District One Commissioner takes office in Labette County for the first time in forty years.

 

Commissioner Vincent Schibi, who takes over for retiring Commissioner Lonie Addis, was sworn in front of his family, county employees and citizens. District Two Commissioner Terry Weidert was also sworn in for the first time as an elected official having served last year as an appointment.

 

The commissioner elected a new chair and vice chair during their first meeting of the new year. Commissioner Weidert was selected as the chair on a 2-0 vote as Commissioner Cole Proehl chose to abstain and Commissioner Schibi was chosen as vice chair on a 3-0 vote. Labette County goes from one of the most experienced commissions in the state to one of the least with three years of service between the three commissioners.
