Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman, followed by a LAKE video playlist.
See also the agenda and the board packet, received in response to a couple of LAKE open records requests.
Why should a private media firm have to pry these materials out of the county?
I’m not blaming the county staff. They do what they are told to do by the County Commissioners.
I’m not blaming the Planning Commissioners. They are merely an advisory body.
So please ask your Lowndes County Commissioners why they do not publish important materials so the public can see what they the Commissioners are using to make decisions?
