Commissioner Dan Green told Huckleberries moments ago that the Kootenai County Commission is prepared to select the next county clerk at a meeting this afternoon. All three nominees -- Jim Brannon, Bjorn Handeen and Dean Isaacson -- were told last night at the county GOP Central Committee meeting to be at the meeting, which begins at 3:30 p.m. in the first-floor meeting room in the administrative building. Green said he doesn't know Isaacson. However, he added, "It is our intent to get someone sworn in as clerk today." Commissioners have 15 days to make a selection. They have the option of not selecting any of the three names. If that happens, the GOP Central Committee would then choose the next clerk.

Question: Can county commissioners make a wise choice among these three in a hands-on meeting today?
