Sheridan Commission Opts to Not Fill Commission Seat

News – Sheridan Media

Sheridan County’s Commissioners failed to select a replacement to fill a seat for an unexpired term on the commission vacated by former Commissioner Allen Thompson, who resigned effective August 1.

The commission, in a special meeting Tuesday morning, interviewed the three candidates, Michael Arzy, Bryan Helferich, and Holly Jennings, before entering into an executive session to discuss the candidates for the position.

Commission Chairwoman Christi Haswell explains what happened.

Haswell said there were those in attendance, including some from the Sheridan County Republican Central Committee, who made the recommendations of the three candidates to the commission, who were not happy with the outcome of the vote.

Haswell explained that the next step will be for the decision to be made by either District Court Judge Ben Kirven or District Court Judge Darci Phillips, who will have the option to choose from any registered Republican in Sheridan County.

According to Haswell, the judges are not required to choose a replacement from just the three candidates recommended by the Republican Central Committee.
