With dialin instructions I assume listen-in because there is no Citizens To Be Heard on the agenda. While Madison County, Florida, BOCC, weeks ago had a participatory conference call meeting, […]
Neither of the two Valdosta cases at Monday evening’s Planning Commission Regular Session looks controversial, although you never know. Jon Nijem wants to rezone and then get approval for a Planned Development at 406 & 410 Baytree Road. And Pregnancy Support Clinic of Valdosta wants to rezone for office space at 2203 N. Oak St. […]

We learned why Lowndes County has gotten religion about Internet access and speed: Moody AFB wants it. Commissioner Scottie Orenstein made the case for board packets and agendas in electronic form instead of the paper packets they currently use.
