To the Editor:
REMEMBER Feb. 20, 2024 Primary VOTING for the Lincoln County Board CONTESTED Races!!
Are YOU one of us who have DEMANDED that our Lincoln County Board NOT SELL the Pine Crest Nursing Home? Now is your time to vote those County Board Members OUT OF OFFICE as they are up for re-election! Here is the list of Current Board Members that either have contested opponents, not running again or no challengers! ….
I will begin with the 7 Districts who have contested challengers (chronologically) that voted to Sell Pine Crest:
Districts #8 Laurie Thiel; #9 Don Friske; #10 Jesse Boyd; #11 Randal Detert; #12 Julie DePasse; #18 Kenneth Wickham; #20 Angela Cummings
These 3 District Board Members are not running for another term (2 DID vote to Sell) therefore have at least 1, 2 or more primary challengers who will be voted for:
Districts #4 Steve Osness; #13 George Brixius; & #14 Brian Hafeman
These 4 Board Members are running Unopposed but DID vote to sell Pine Crest:
Districts #15 Marty Lemke; #16 Dana Miller; #17 James Meunier; & #21 Eugene Simon
Now is your chance to RECTIFY the saving of Pine Crest, which as always, has been a wonderful home to those in their later years, and to us in our future years, from being privatized under Corporate GREED resulting in little benefit to the residents.
