12/18/12 - Three members of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners who will not be resuming their positions next year were honored at last nightâs meeting. Board Chair Maggie Jones (seated, far left) and Commissioners Jim Mantey (standing, at right) and Jack La Belle (seated, middle) will all leave the board in January. Earlier this month a special reception was held for the retirement of La Belle, who is the longest-serving county commissioner in Michigan history. The board chose to honor Jones and Mantey last night with plaque recounting their service and accomplishments from their time in office. Mantey says he was proud to continue the tradition of fiscal prudency and help the county get through the rough economy of the past five years, and Jones says it was a privilege to serve with and learn from the other members of the board. When the board first meets in January it will include the three candidates who won Republican nominations from the three outgoing commissioners in the August primary. (TD)
