Colbert County Commission Meeting July 3rd

We've been told that during the last Colbert County commission meeting only one citizen was in attendance. Perhaps there was nothing on the agenda of great importance or perhaps people genuinely don't care unless sex offenders are involved.

We've also received complaints that the commission doesn't answer inquiries from citizens. We don't believe this is unusual. Several years ago, we personally contacted members of the Lauderdale County Commission in writing and failed to hear from any of them. We did later encounter MC (no longer on the commission) who asked for our vote for another office. We just laughed.

There are to be some interesting questions asked at the next commission meeting on July 3rd. If you live in Colbert County, you should attend if your schedule permits. You pay taxes and you deserve answers.

We've seen comments that the Colbert administrator doesn't forward messages. This may or may not be true.

We're going to make one suggestion here to any administrative personnel who takes messages/open mail. Divide the correspondence into three stacks: One for messages that you know are important to your supervisor, a second for those you have no idea about, and a third for those you're pretty sure your superior won't care diddly about. You've done your job, let your boss do the rest.
