Looks like Dan Springborg has resigned his seat on the county board for personal reasons effective November 3rd.
I hope he does well in whatever he does in the future.

His government girlfriend probably dumped him since he lost the nomination.

Right, I heard a few people say that he is a pretty good guy, outside of the political arena anyway; but then again I also have heard the same about Mark.

Really, no crap? Why isn't he staying on board 'til Nelson takes office? What's the deal anyway? I guess I'll have to check it out.

Why would he resign? He could have just not attended the meetings and still drawn his check until the end of the year.

Heres a question. Will his seat just stay open until Nelson officially is to take over?
Or will Nelson take the seat before?
Be nice to see some 3 to 1 votes for a while instead of always 4 to 1.
Liberal, thats a good question. I would assume it has to be just a little humiliating for him to sit up there with the others as a laimduck.
On the other hand, I am glad he didnt just stay on and not attend the meetings just for a pay check.
Depends on his motives, but this seems like the one smart thing he has done since becoming a commissioner.

From 11/06/05 Trib.
| Quote | According to County Board statute 375.101 regarding the vacancy in the office of county commissioner: "If a vacancy for which a special election is required occurs less than 60 days before the general election preceding the end of the term, the vacancy shall be filled by the person elected."
Jim Nelson was elected Nov. 2, to fill Springborg's position and said he is willing to take up his duties ahead of time. Springborg's request came hours into Nelson's celebration party and caught him offguard. |
