\nShould it take more than six months to find the county ordinances
\nthat code enforcement needs?<\/p>\n

\nGretchen Quarterman thanked County Clerk Paige Dukes for
\nhelping her in the “neverending answering to my list of questions.”
\nShe noted that:<\/p>\n

\nThe chairman thinks I’m badgering,
\nbut really I’m not.
\n
\n<\/a>
\nThis body makes ordinances, and
\nsome of the ordinances are on the website.
\nIf you
\ngo to the state website, and find out where all the laws of the state are;
\ngo to the city of Valdosta’s website, and find out where all the laws of Valdosta are.
\nGo to our website and only find out some of the ordinances.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>
\nPaige says she has been diligently working on this
\nand I absolutely positively believe her.
\nAnd I know it’s very complicated
\nBut I really encourage y’all as a body
\n— I’m not trying to tell you how to do your job —
\n
\n<\/a>
\nbut to keep the business of our county in order.
\nThank you.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s been trying to get public access to all the ordinances since December.
\nThe county doesn’t even have a list of all the ordinances.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/a>
\nShould it take more than six months to find the local laws
\nthat code enforcement needs?
\nChairman Ashley Paulk and 2 of 3 voting Commissioners, Crawford Powell and Richard Raines,
\nare businessmen.
\nCould they run a business when resolutions of the board were nowhere
\nto be found?<\/p>\n
