The second day of the Commission retreat is finished.
Reporting from location, Gretchen noted:
1PM: BroadBand
Chairman Bill Slaughter has a five year goal of making broadband
available. Some possibility of creating a fibre ring.
He says he’s working with the City of Valdosta.
Well, a year ago in February he said broadband was
“one of the number one issues”,
but in October he said
“we have broadband”,
so it’s anyone’s guess what his opinion will be in a few months.
1:06PM: Outsourcing
Commissioner Crawford Powell wants to outsource more county services.
That’s working so well, after all; see the next note.
