New Horizons?

Fish Lake Township Supervisor Bob Carter suffered another defeat on 1/6/09 when the newly seated Chisago County board voted unanimously to re-appoint Craig Mold to another 3-year term effective 1/16/09 as the District 5 representative to the Chisago County planning commission. This is the second time that Carter has unsuccessfully applied for a county planning commission appointment.

Carter has previously applied for a county appointment to the East Central Regional Library (ECRL) board as well. He lost his bid for the at-large position when the prior Chisago County board voted on 12/26/07 to re-appoint Verna Hoppe for another 3-year term effective 1/1/08. Carter’s application for an ECRL board seat was preceded by his “strategic” letter to the editor published on 12/20/07 in the “The Chisago County Press” newspaper titled, “Robinson didn’t support library.”

After three failed attempts to transcend from township to county government, would it be prudent for Carter to explore new horizons?
