Check our work, esp. about the pipeline –Gretchen Quarterman @ LCC 2013-11-12



Fan of local government Gretchen suggested it
“check our work” before whipsawing citizens in for items
that didn’t happen or failing to schedule a public hearing
even after the Chairman asked for it, plus failing do deliver
what was promised in open records requests,
at the

12 November 2013 Lowndes County Commission Regular Session.
Today she’s checking their work at

The big event was that
citizens speaking about the pipeline got
four of five Commissioners to come down and listen afterwards.
And
in a surprise addition to the agenda
D.A. J. David Miller asked for and got approval for a victim assistance program.
All this and

insurance plan,
health plan,
a

road closing,
a grant proposal to renovate the
Library (did the Commissioners get the whole
board packet this time?)
and let’s not forget a special performance on fire by
Chairman Bill Slaughter,
plus apparently
the County Commission is in charge of rain
like it’s in charge of
alcohol.

Here’s

the agenda with links to the videos, and a few notes.

Vice Chair Richard Raines ran the work session, calling the meeting to
order and moving briskly through the first item (minutes for approval).
Commissioners asked questions on most of the other items.

In the Library item Commissioners discovered even they
didn’t get the whole board packet.
After the meeting,
Gretchen filed an open records request for the agenda packet,
but if the county runs true to form she won’t get it until after
they vote in the Regular Session tomorrow evening at 5:30 PM.

Insurance plan
and
health plan
took more than 20 minutes, with many questions from Commissioners.

Here’s

the agenda.

The county is considering
an

insurance plan
(
Section 125 or cafeteria or flexible benefit),
presumably related to the
health plan
they’re also considering.


They may



abandon Green Lane.
The only family living on Green Lane appears to be

Alphonso Simmons Jr.
