If you get elected to County Commission, what power does that give your spouse?

The thread title probably explains a lot, but I am hearing that we may very well have gotten a two for one deal in a recent election.

So the title got you confused. Does the spouse of an elected county commissioner have any special power or authority? I can not find it in the statute so I am trying to make sure I am not missing something.

Don't know about BCC, but it used to be that if an elected Sheriff died in office, his spouse took over as Sheriff until the next election. I think that happened here once, but there is no one left in my family to ask.

I'm pretty sure that's been changed, though.

A friend of Ron Kelley's told me he was fired because the paper was cutting back. They didn't even give him any notice or severence. I thought he did a good job and was fair and did not take sides. I have cancelled my subscription as well. I know it is a small jesture but makes me feel better.
You never see the wives of the other commissioners, not sure they even work.

So that's what happened to him! I liked him too! Provided some balance to what's her names nonsense!
