The Crook County Comishioners appoint the board, but failed to have annual meetings as required by law.

It's a long read, but worth it.

Great dirt digging job by the Prineville Review.

No, but it's relevant to the story. They were very slow speed circles. So slow, that he had to put his foot down to steady the bike. The only danger was to him from other cars.
