Court Rules County Commission Illegal Five Member Return
Clark County District Court Judge Charles Thompson ruled the seven member Clark County Commission elected illegally. The statute increasing from five to seven was unconstitutional, requiring a return to a five member body. The decision raises questions on further actions and possible steps, including two commissioners stepping down. The governor's options include a special legislative session to reestablish seven members, though he has indicated he will not call one.
