At Tuesday night’s reorganization meeting of the Board of Supervisors, it was business as usual as those currently serving on boards, commissions, and more were reappointed with little opposition or discussion.
Chairman for the Board of Supervisors will be Michael Debbis with Andy Schrader serving as vice chairman for the 2012 year. New this year, though, is Supervisor Elizabeth Cowden, who won election to the board in November.
