She <br /> wished him well. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said the Board will miss Commissioner Dorosin's ability to think <br /> fast on his feet, to keep the Board on track and organized when going down a rabbit hole and to <br /> help the Board come to good decisions. She commended Commissioner Dorosin for taking a <br /> position and it not being personal, even if one disagrees with him. She said the Board will miss <br /> him. <br /> Commissioner Fowler said she has enjoyed working with Commissioner Dorosin, and <br /> appreciates where he comes from, regardless of any difference in opinion, and appreciates his <br /> advocacy for social justice. She wished him the best in his next chapter. <br /> Commissioner Greene said the County will miss Commissioner Dorosin's strong social <br /> justice voice that comes from the same conviction that is causing him to leave the Board and go <br /> to Florida. She wished Commissioner Dorosin the best in training new young civil rights lawyers <br /> to pick up the torch. <br /> Commissioner Hamilton thanked Commissioner Dorosin for his service as a <br /> Commissioner and his other public service, and said he has made a difference to the <br /> community. She said this is North Carolina's loss and Florida's gain. She said she is <br /> disappointed because she was looking forward to learning from Commissioner Dorosin on how <br /> to be effective as a County Commissioner. She wished him and his family the best. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he enjoyed working with Commissioner Dorosin for almost <br /> 10 years now, and he made him a better commissioner. He said he will consider him a <br /> Commissioner until the end of the day on July 31. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin thanked the Board for its words. He said the generous <br /> outpouring of support humbles him. He said his family has been in NC for 30 years, and it was <br /> a difficult decision to move. He said the work he has been a part of on the BOCC has been <br /> transformative for the community and for him as an individual. He said he has learned so much <br /> from his colleagues, both current and previous. He said it has been challenging work, but <br /> meaningful, and he appreciates the time and energy staff and the commissioners have put in. <br /> He said the County is very fortunate to have such wonderful staff. He said it has been a <br /> wonderful experience, and on one hand it has exceeded his wildest expectations, but he wishes <br /> he could have done more. He said the Board faces a hostile state legislature and statutes that <br /> constrain it from being as creative as it would like to be. He said he is humbled to have had the <br /> opportunity to work with the community and the BOCC. <br /> 5. Public Hearings <br /> None <br />
