Editorial Page Editor Adam Van Brimmer blogs on local topics of interest most weekday mornings in the “Savannah’s Town Square” Facebook group. The following is an excerpt from one of those posts. Join the group at Facebook.com by searching "Savannah's Town Square." Chatham Commission Chairman Chester Ellis is in midst of his first leadership test, and he's proving woefully under-prepared. Last Friday's commission meeting, just the second of his tenure as chairman, devolved into a kangaroo court, with Ellis quasi-bullying his fellow commissioners over an unorthodox appointment of a former commissioner to the Chatham Area Transit board. Even worse, Ellis cut off public comment on the appointment of Tabitha Odell, who is a key player in the recent controversial firing of CAT's CEO. The situation has met with public uproar, and Ellis' behavior did nothing to temper the outrage.
