The Todd County Commissioners should suspend County Administrator Nathan Burkett without pay until such time as the felony investigation of Administrator Burkett's wife has been completed by the Ottertail County Sheriff's Department.
Why is this important?
Kimberley M. Burkett, Director of the Long Prairie Chamber of Commerce and wife of Todd County Administrator Nathan Burkett was arrested on Tuesday, May 15, 2012, and charged with felony embezzlement. County Administrator Nathan Burkett is in charge of the renovation of the Historic Todd County Courthouse, which involves large amounts of money. Until the Ottertail County Sheriff's Department has completed its investigation of Mrs. Burkett, Administrator Burkett should be put on an unpaid leave of absence.
