West Quincy Supervisor Lori Simpson got her hand on the gavel New supervisor Jon Kennedy seemed to select the correct seat
Tuesday, Jan. 4, when her fellow Plumas County supervisors for his first year, flanked by new vice chairman Robert Meacher
elected her as board chairwoman. "I'm not gonna stop rabble- on his right, with County Counsel Craig Settlemire and new
rousing either," she assured her fellow supervisors with a grin, chairwoman Lori Simpson on his left.
playing off the fact that one of her duties will be to keep the
board on task. She also thanked previous chairwoman Sherrie
Thrall for preparing her for this moment. "1 know she comes Photos by
the longest distance and all the extra meetings she has to come
to. It's a hardship and she does it willingly ... thank you for all Joshua Seboid
your leadership; I learned a lot."
Before soliciting nominations for the board chairman position,
Supervisor Sherrie Thrall told her fellow board members she
was not interested in holding the position again this year. The
Chester supervisor served two years in a row at the request of
the two new supervisors who were still learning theropes.
NormalJy the chairperson position turns over each year. Thrall
ended her tenure at the head of the table with a short speech.
"The new chair will discover very rapidly this is not a job you
do yourself, so no credit is due me, it is due the other super-
visors and staff for all their support." "It's been an interesting
two years and I thank everyone for that experience and I will
be happy now to sit on the sidelines and rabble rouse and
cause trouble and get off agenda and all the other things that I
tried not to let anyone else do."

California 4th District As-
semblyman Ted Gaines
soundly defeated Democrat
Ken Cooley to keep the Cali-
fornia District 1 Senate seat
in the hands of Republicans.
Gaines garnered two-thirds
of the vote in a special elec-
tion Tuesday, Jan. 4, to fill
the seat left vacant by the
death of Plumas County advo-
cate Dave Cox. Gaines took
63.2 percent (81,945 votes) of
the vote districtwide com-
pared to 36.8 percent (47,743
votes) for Cooley.
Plumas County tracked
with the rest of the district,
favoring Gaines 64.68 percent
to 35.01 percent.
Turnout for the election
was low. Just 34.39 percent of
Plumas voters cast ballots.
Gaines campaigned on
three main issues: No tax in-
creases, period; balance the
state budget by limiting
spending; and create private
sector jobs.
"I am humbled and grateful
for the overwhelming support
I received from the voters in
the 1st Senate District," said
Gaines. "It is an honor to rep-
resent the area my family
first settled in over 150 years
ago, and to do so at such a
crucial time in our state's his-
tory."
California law required a
special election to fill the
seat. The vast majority of vot-
ers who participated in yes-
terday's election did so by
mail ballot.
