exchange between Matt Portwood and Lowndes County Commission Chairman
Ashley Paulk.
We’ll have the video up shortly so you can see for yourself.
The question:
“Reading the news, I found that both school boards and the City Council have come out with either a statement or a resoultion with their stance on school consolidation. I’m just curious why there hasn’t been a statement or resolution from you,” said Portwood.
The VDT’s version of the answer:
“Look at your tax notes. It says county taxes and school taxes,” replied Paulk. We’re two totally different entities than the county school system. I don’t feel like we should be meddling in their affairs. I don’t think the County Commission should be weighing in on the city issue. Commissioners agreed that this was their stance on the matter.”More in a bit.
