| It's not been a good week for Dennis Lennox. First, he becomes the target of a defamation lawsuit over cowardly Wikipedia comments. Second, it is made public that the office he holds, and made media waves by going to the county commission and asking that it be eliminated as unnecessary, is running out of money. Cheboygan County Drain Commissioner Dennis Lennox has almost used up his entire budget allotment for 2009, with six months left in the year. Lennox, who gained state and national attention earlier this year by asking the commissioners to approve a resolution asking the Michigan Legislature to legally eliminate his office, is serving his first term as Cheboygan County Drain Commissioner. The Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners briefly discussed the Lennox budget issue at its June 23 meeting.
If you look down in comments, you'll find that, according to himself and his friends, there are no money problems, the money problems are all the fault of his predecessor, his predecessor did something even worse, and finally -- and predictably -- they's a-out to git him. Perhaps if he'd spent more time as a student -- you know -- studying rather than chasing people around with a video camera he could have avoided this embarrassing situation. The naturally raises questions of whether those same media outlets that were so quick to give what was a campaign stunt publicity well beyond what was warranted will point out that when it actually came time for him to do the job he said was no longer necessary that he bolloxed it. |
