So, a couple weeks ago, the group BEST won their recall election to remove two board members… But who really lost in this matter? In my opinion, the residents of Evergreen lost. Why did we allow 3 disgruntled ex-members of the fire department make their grudges public to waste SO much of our tax money on an election that many see as completely unnecessary and waste of time and money. With the hiring of a new chief, they should have at least waited to see the improvements he would make. instead, they pushed on with personal agendas to remove two board members who have committed immeasurable amount of time to the goal of a smoothly run volunteer fire department. If I was at all convinced that their motives were actually valid, i might think differently, but I have seen no such proof.
