Also, the president of Clackamas County, Craig Roberts, also launched a statement, saying that Fireside informed him that he immediately took his leave. His statement has read that he is deeply concerned about the indictment and that “the board of directors remains employed to maintain the confidence and confidence that the people in Clackamas County have placed in us as they continue to fulfill our responsibilities.”

Commissioner Ben West also launched a statement in which he said that Fireside broke the public’s confidence and also asked to resign immediately:

“The charges of crime against Commissioner Firesid are deceitful. My heart is heading for the elderly man who was supposed to have victimized. The Board of Directors must take quick measures to protect the county and vulnerable populations we serve. “

Fireside also owns the business management company “PDX consulting” in Lake Oswego.

She is facing up to 10 years for the accusation of aggravated theft and up to five years for the remaining charges.
