Fan of local government Gretchen suggested it
“check our work” before whipsawing citizens in for items
that didn’t happen or failing to schedule a public hearing
even after the Chairman asked for it, plus failing do deliver
what was promised in open records requests,
at the

12 November 2013 Lowndes County Commission Regular Session.
Today she’s checking their work at
their secretive Retreat Work Session.

At the Regular Session she noted that the

Sabal Trail item
that was misscheduled for the previous morning
caused several citizens to take off work to come
in for something that didn’t happen.
(You can find out more about that pipeline
Saturday morning at 10AM at the
SpectraBusters Informational Meeting.

She mentioned the

Green Lane item that the Chairman had asked the previous morning to
have moved to Public Hearings, saying it still wasn’t moved on the
agenda handed out at the door.

She said she was promised 77 pages for an open records request for
a board packet and only got 74.
She said she did get an explanation from County Clerk Paige Dukes,

But I still really wish that we could check our work.
I’m not saying that somebody’s not doing their work right,
I’m just saying, when we check our work, then we know
for sure that we did our work correctly.
Thank you.

The Chairman thanked her, but all the Commissioners seemed
to be studiously looking somewhere else.
