Hux Redux: Henderson Eyes 3rd Term

From my files 25 years ago, I wrote this story re: Frank Henderson seeking a 3rd term as a Kootenai County commissioner. It was published March 28, 1988:

Commissioner Frank Henderson has decided "it's just too soon to retire" in announcing his re-election bid for a third term today. The announcement Monday ended months of speculation about the 65-year-old commissioner's plans. He is in his sixth year as a Kootenai County commissioner and second as board chairman. He also considered running for a legislative post, but said "there are several projects I'd like to complete" as commissioner. He listed those projects as siting and development of a new landfill, development of a new juvenile justice program, more public access to lakes and rivers, and revision of the county's comprehensive plan.

Question: Would you say that former Commissioner Henderson has provided a decent amount of public service to Kootenai County?
