Fairbank to be new Blaine County commissioner

This Friday a new Blaine County commissioner will be sworn in as former chair Charles Kulbeck resigns from his position.

Kulbeck, whose term was supposed to end in December of this year, put in his resignation about a month ago to end his term as commissioner Friday, Commissioner Frank DePriest said.

Kulbeck has been working on recovering from a December 2016 motor vehicle crash and is now taking time to focus on himself and working on physical therapy, Commission Chair Dolores Plumage said.

“We wish him well,” she added.

Kulbeck could not be reached for comment by printing deadline...
