Update: My informant nailed it. Otter's office has released a press statement confirming that he has appointed Glen Bailey to a Bonner County commissioner opening. Click here.
Huckleberries hears (originally posted at 1:54 PM) … That Gov. Butch Otter has selected 1st District Court bailiff Glen Bailey to fill the Bonner County commissioner vacancy created when Joyce Broadsword accepted a job as regional chief of the state Health & Welfare. Former Commissioner Cornel Rasor was also on the short list. Don't take this one to the bank yet. But my source has been very accurate in the past.
Question: Anyone know anything about Bailey, who was considered a dark-horse candidate by the Bonner County Bee?
