Videos: paving and suing @ LCC 2013-05-14

See how the Commission does “the people’s business” one of the
Christian minister Commissioners mentioned in

his invocation
before another Baptist minister Commissioner

expressed concerns about a different religion’s choice of location.
No explanation for

why county citizens can’t choose their trash service
or

why the county is suing a local business on behalf of New York City investors,
and

half a million dollars for paving without any competitive bid named
while

one man says the county took his property for road right of way.

One more potential board appointee showed up, for 2 out of 3.

Appointees: Airport Authority @ LCC 2013-05-13



Only one of two potential appointees to the Airport Authority showed up.

No mic for County Manager Joe Pritchard at yesterday morning’s

Lowndes County Commission Work Session,
but by turning the sound way up I think he said
the term of Wayne Edwards on the
