Commissioner Lee raised the question at the last Commission meeting about the appropriateness of commissioners staying on the same committees year after year.
This especially appears inappropriate when a county employee is able to decide the budget that puts money directly or indirectly into their pocket.
Would the county tolerate a commissioner pushing to have new sidewalks put around the square then allow that same commissioner to set aside the money to pay for those sidewalks then allow that same commissioner to have their spouse bid on the project, of course not but commissioners are allowed to be school employees or have spouses work for the school, set the budget to include pay increases then take the money while saying there is no conflict of interest.
It's past time for this matter to be changed, Term limits should be implemented for committees and no one should benefit financially either directly or indirectly from their votes on the commission. Allen Barrett
