They unanimously approved everything except the one
withdrawn item,
and except for the
Executive Session,
the whole thing took 9 minutes.
They meet again
8:30 AM Monday morning 24 July 2017.
Below are links to each LAKE video of the 27 June 2017 Lowndes County Commission Regular Session,
with a very few notes, followed by a video playlist.
See also the
LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session
including the
Zika Presentation by Ken Lowery;
and the
agenda.
Tonight at 5:30 PM they vote on what they discussed
yesterday morning at the Lowndes County Commission.

They’re going to
adopt the county budget Tuesday, after talking about it
this morning at 8:30 AM, after complaining that nobody showed up at

The VDT summarized,
Thomas Lynn, VDT, 23 May 2017, County Manager: Proposed budget austere; Most new funding requests denied.
And Thomas Lynn, 22 June 2017, Public absent from county budget hearing.
No wonder, since
the county didn’t even post the meeting online until that same morning, with no agenda.
The VDT wasn’t there most of the time, but Gretchen was, with the LAKE video camera.
