Observations on the election of county attorney

I would like to offer some observations regarding the recent election of our County Attorney. It has been my privilege to live in Mineral County for 42 years, and to practice law here for 35 years. This encompasses the 31 years that Shaun Donovan has served as County Attorney. For many years, since I was the only other resident attorney in the area,  I accepted a multitude of court appointments in criminal, juvenile and abuse and neglect cases. I have also dealt with Shaun on civil matters such as land use and school issues.

An update from Rep. Pat Ingraham

Memorial Day has passed. It is a time for remembering our unsung heroes, those men and women who’ve defended, guarded and continue to protect our traditions of liberty and freedom, while reaching out to other nations during times of turmoil. But Memorial Day is not just held to a special day of remembrance, but transcends time. Those service people are remembered on a daily basis with thankful hearts by those whose lives they’ve impacted.
