Lowndes County had no fatailities or major injuries from the recent storm,

reported Emergency Management Director Ashley Tye.
They vote tonight at 5:30 PM on
is no longer on
the agenda,
but not on the
Seago rezoning,
because the applicant withdrew it.
They can talk about
CDBG funding,
because of “all the circumstances”, namely that the county is feuding
with all the cities in the county about tax distribution,
and can’t apply for any state or federal grants until that is resolved.
They
adjourned to executive session to discuss litigation:
does that mean they’re going to sue the cities about tax distribution
all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court again?

and behind thirty years of undetected corrosion resulting in leaks, explosions, property damage, and deaths.
The pipeline company didn’t detect it and couldn’t even turn it off quickly.
