Commission Chairman Mike Metcalf said he has only received positive feedback from members of the community about the work of Angela Hunt. Metcalf said Hunt had been on medical leave for more than a month. He said other Veteran Service Officers filled in for Hunt on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s during her medical leave.
Clement also asked if the board of commissioners violated their policy manual by accepting health insurance being they allegedly don’t work full-time like other county officials.
