Officials now believe that headache may soon be over. One way or the other they will be scheduled, said County Administrator Chad Bruner.

There is evidence that Kelly was used as a scapegoat. And the Mastro report’s theory that she ordered the lane closure because she was dumped by Bill Stepien was indeed baseless and misogynistic. She suffered longer-lasting consequences than many other people involved. But that doesn’t negate Kelly’s actions in the late summer of 2013, and she continues to argue that she was not aware that creating a huge tra
