From The Daily "A": Portland Attorney Weighs In On Lee's Actions

Lawyer says Lee abused his position as Clatsop County Board Chairman

"County staff bent over backwards to be fair attorney says; in return, one may have been called a ‘witch’ or a ‘bitch’"

By JOE GAMM - The Daily Astorian

Clatsop County Commissioner Richard Lee's wife, Lynda, demanded staff be terminated for upholding county and state law.

That's a no-no.

So said Jill Goldsmith, a Portland attorney, in her report of an investigation into Commissioner Richard Lee's dealings with the county's own planning department released Friday.

Details of Goldsmith's report were released after the county commissioners held a meeting in executive session Friday morning.

Details of what happened in the executive session are not allowed to be reported. Lee was not present at the meeting because he was asked not to attend.
