Hazel Dell resident Bob Zak believes it was wrong for the County Council to remove Michelle Belkot from the C-TRAN Board of Directors

Clark County Councilor Michelle Belkot is absolutely right.
“One man said: “Her job was to represent the board, the vote of the council. She failed to do her job. She deserves to be replaced for failure to do her job.”
This person is WRONG. Belkot was voted in to represent the people in Council District 2, which I live in. I have sent several emails to Belkot voicing our opposition to “light rail” and the connection with TriMet. We support a “third bridge and a transit lane for mass transit” but NO light rail. Belkot represented “we the people” of CCD #2. That is her sworn duty. The council voting her off of the C-TRAN Board of Directors is WRONG.
