Greeson: Commissioner Fields knows it’s time for another to serve

The Hamilton County Commission met Wednesday morning. That’s not exactly breaking news.

They did some stuff, like approving gas expenditures, and that’s not exactly breaking news.

They heard from a couple of guys who, minus the tin foil hats, were convinced that the Convention and Visitors Bureau was somewhere between a doogleboon (seriously) and a willing contributor to Transnational Organized Crime. Man, who knew Bob Doak was Doak Corleone, huh?

It was, beyond adding a needed position to the technical squad of Sheriff Jim Hammond’s department, rather yawn-worthy.

That said, several of the folks sitting before the crowd will be facing a very public verdict on their job performance today when the polls open. The Times Free Press wisely shies away from political commentary on Election Day, so those races will be covered extensively in Friday’s paper and updated often at timesfreepress.com throughout today.
