I can't find the words to express how happy I am to learn Jan Clair, director of the Lake County Elections Board, was named Commerce Queen at Tuesday night's event at the Lake County Fair.
I've had the pleasure to meet many wonderful people in Lake County during my 11 years at The News-Herald, but few have impressed me to the level of Clair.
She's direct and honest, which, believe it or not, is not quite as easy as it sounds. She's been through a lot in her tenure on the job — including, during my short time here at the paper, three different types of voting systems. But she's a true professional who excels at her job.
It's nice to see the judges understand her value, too. I hope she enjoys her reign as Queen for a year. She truly deserves it.
