Unfair Attacks on County Commissioners Highlight Local Criticism
The Independent defends county commissioners for following legal advice after Elko's incorporation. It cites a district attorney ruling that authority over Elko's town affairs ceased after election certificates were issued. It notes any later action would be invalid and denies bonds liability. The piece also clarifies that an unofficial Carlin town board was appointed by the commissioners, not by demand. Mayor McBride's illness delays new duties, but transition will not harm the town’s growth or governance.
