A Libby City councilor recently sought a temporary order of protection against a member of Libby’s Government Study Commission.

Councilor Gail Burger made an application Tuesday, Aug. 5, against city resident Darrel “DC” Orr. Orr, a former city councilor, is a member of the Study Commission that is charged with leading discussions among local citizens about their local government’s existing power and form of government and evaluate alternatives. Study commission members must write a report detailing their recommendations for changes to the respective governments.

According to Wednesday's agenda for the study commission's 5:30 p.m. meeting, under new business, the trio is planning on talking about the behavior of Burger. In addition to Orr, the study commission includes Vince Backen and John Bebee. They meet in the Maki Theatre at 724 Louisiana Avenue.
