Jim Gile, Saline County Commissioner, blows up his career with racial slur

  • Jim Gile, right, is trying to jury-rig a way to stay on the Saline County Board of Commissioners.

Saline County Commissioner Jim Gile might have some free time on his hands soon. Gile, in his first term, became Internet famous today after it was reported that he used a racial slur during a commission work session.

The county Board of Commissioners was debating whether it should hire an architect to draw up changes to a county building. During the discussion, Gile said hiring someone was preferable to “n – – – rigging it.” Not surprisingly, he has spent the last couple of days apologizing and explaining that he’s not a racist.
