Earlier this month, a District Court Judge ruled to remove Pottawattamie County Supervisor Scott Belt from Office. County Attorney Matt Wilber had filed a petition for removal after Belt attended a public meeting where he, allegedly, struggled to speak clearly and appeared unsteady. Witnesses saw him drinking at a bar prior to the meeting.
