The Journal reports on the Jefferson County Commission's appointment of County Administrator Edwina Benites as interim Executive Director of the Jefferson County Development Authority following Krista Hoffman's resignation. Benites, who is looking to start her doctoral degree soon, requested the interim role be limited to six months due to concerns about her workload. Commission President Pasha Majdi raised issues regarding Benites' capacity, but the need for leadership in public meetings was highlighted. Ultimately, the vote was four to one in favor of Benites taking on the interim position.
