Budget Committe Refuses To Spend Money On Turkey!
In one of the few times the budget committee has been unanimous in a decision to NOT spend money, today they refused a request by the TWRA One Shot Turkey Hunt Committee to pay $2500.00 for the turkey hunt dinner.
It was mentioned by Mrs Vanzant that this request was made the day before the dinner was held. In the past the group has been supported by allowing them the free use of the Courthouse and/or Ag. Park. It was felt that, as with other groups, this group should pay for their own dinner.
Also turned down was the request by the Bi-Centennial committee for an additional $1100.00 to purchase more brackets to hang banners from light post. $25,000.00 has already been given by the county to this committee. Voting against this expenditure were commissioners Flacy, Beets, Jackson and J. Harwell. Voting for the expenditure were Commissioners Campbell, Reedy and Holt.
Is there hope that future spending will be better controlled, only time will tell but there seems to be a new wind blowing in Giles County. Allen Barrett

I dont look for better control over spending. Cant believe anyone wouild have the audacity to ask the county to pay for a fat cat's dinner when we have hungry people in this county. People pouring in to the dinner last week looked as if they could afford to pay.
As for more money for the Bi-Centennial committee. Tough. People running these things have no concept of being frugal with someone else's money. Again, hungry people in Giles county which is more important than flags with an ad hanging underneath it. Tackey.
Holt, Lovell and Campbell would vote for it because their buddies are on this committee. They need to be voted out of office next year.
Holt & Lovell will vote for any tax increase
Include Campbell, Faulkner, Reedy and Woodard who does everything Lovell tells him to do.
To Tuesday, March 31, 2009 4:34:00 PM. Campbell was against the Turkey money request, for the exact reason you mentioned.
Haven't you heard? They are all corrupt and deceitful.
