Hahira life-long resident Tom Hallman asked a simple question
in the

Lowndes County Commission Regular Session Tuesday:

I just can’t for the life of me figure out why,
myself as a resident, I don’t have a choice to choose who
picks up my trash.

Chairman Bill Slaughter said he’d be glad to explain it to Hallman
after the meeting.
Chairman didn’t offer to explain it to the public.
And the Executive Session lasted so long all the citizens
left before it was over, so I don’t know if Tom Hallman
ever got an explanation.

Here’s

the video:

Why can’t we choose our trash pickup service? –Tom Hallman
