There was one
Citizen Wishing To Be Heard,
but it never became clear what
Karen Carlisle was talking about, nor who “we” was on behalf of which she was asking.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,
with a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.
Commissioner Scottie Orenstien wanted to know did they own the land: yes.
Would they connect to county water and sewer? yes.
Lowndes County Utilities Director affirmed that the county
already has the necessary infrastructure for them to connect to.
The highest-dollar item is a sewer main remodel,
on a relatively light agenda for the Lowndes County Commission Work Session
this morning and voting Regular Session tomorrow evening.
LOWNDES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
PROPOSED AGENDA
WORK SESSION, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2023, 8:30 a.m.
REGULAR SESSION, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2023, 5:30 p.m.
327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor
The alleged “Project Need” in
Sabal Trail’s Friday FERC docket CP15-17 permit application
to get eminent domain for its 100-foot-wide gouge for a yard-wide hazardous fracked methane pipeline is: Sabal Trail claims it has contracts to sell the gas.
Let’s apply that logic to Sabal Trail co-owner FPL’s headquarters.
This is FPL headquarters at 700 Universe Blvd., Juno Beach, Florida,

Did you know the Valdosta-Lowndes County Convention Center and Tourism Authority
was meeting this morning?
Well, if you happened by the Convention Center you would find this
Announcement on the door:
Picture by Gretchen Quarterman for Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange (LAKE), Valdosta, Lowndes County, Georgia, 27 February 2013.
Most boards post an actual agenda on the door, but this one is just
an announcement.
If they posted that on their
website
or their
facebook page
I can't find it.
Gretchen says they did have a quorum
(
unlike last month)
and they were quite welcoming of her and the LAKE video camera.
However, they did not provide her with an agenda.
She says they didn't give anything to the VDT reporter, either.
157 Luckie St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303 CATEGORY: Institutional Development Developer: Turner Enterprises Solar panels added to a surface parking lot that will produce nearly 200 kilowatt hours of energy, making this the largest solar project installed in Downtown Atlanta $1 million Completed 2011
That’s 20 cents per kilowatt hour. Which won’t take many years to pay for itself.
Who is on the Tourism Authority Board, and why do they have
such rapid changeover in executive directors?
The Commissioners considered Monday 9 January and made Tuesday 10 January
three appointments to the Tourism Authority:
Commissioner Joyce Evans (reappointment),
Jerome “Andy” Anderson (reappointment),
and Greg Charbeneau apparently to replace
Linda Jenson (who had been appointed to fill a vacancy for ? Montgomery).
5.a. Valdosta/Lowndes County Conference Center and Tourism Authority
County Manager Joe Pritchard said at the Tuesday Regular Session that
Greg Charbeneau is a Vice President at Wild Adventures.
Here’s
video of that session:

Legalization of drugs in Mexico would not only lead to lowered violence
and drug consumption but also boost its economy, former Mexican President
Vicente Fox said Wednesday during a speech to a convention of newspaper
editors from the United States and Latin America.
“Things are going very badly for Mexico with the issues of organized
crime and violence,” Fox said in Spanish. “We’re losing large
volumes of tourists, if not in the interior, then at the border. We’re
losing a great number of investments.”
And if there were more jobs in Mexico, from tourism and investments,
there would be fewer Mexicans trying to sneak into the U.S. for jobs.
Will legalization cause more drug use? No:
On Wednesday, Fox cited the example of Portugal, where he said drugs
use has fallen by 25 percent a decade after they were legalized there.
