Speaking of elections, we are very sad to report that Tillamook County Commissioner Tim Josi lost his reelection bid for NACo West Region Representative. Tim reflected that while it wasn’t easy losing the election, he is okay with not being the West Region Representative any longer. He has a lot on his plate here at home and he says he’s already feeling less stressed. Thank you Tim for all you’ve done. You set a new standard for NACo regional representatives.
Two of President Obama’s cabinet officers, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Transportation spoke to the conference along with the Deputy Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental affairs. Former NBA star Brad Daugherty entertained the conference and journalist Soledad O’Brien provided the parting words.
Other than the weather, it was an interesting conference.
