* An excerpt of the letter of resignation from Lee Bjerke, Winneshiek County Engineer
Since January 3rd, the current Board has made statements, accusations, and taken actions, official and otherwise, that I do not agree with and I do not believe are in the best interest of Winneshiek County. These actions are not limited to Secondary Roads. As an engineer I am bound to work with information backed by facts, not random opinions, conjecture or hearsay. I do not wish to remain in an environment such as this where facts and truths do not seem to be sought or even discussed. To continue would be unproductive and not in the best interest of either party.
