Legislative Meeting 21 March 2011

Several items of business was conducted in the March Legislative Meeting.
Among those items of business were the following:

1) Appointment of an Audit Committee with one member from each district consisting of Commissioners Cary, Pope, Adams, Beech, Holt, Houston and Coleman. Commissioner Holt is the chairman, Houston the Vice Chair, and Cary the Secretary. This committee will have responsibility to identify and implement any needed changes involving audits of various departments.

2) Appointments of Mr Edwin Lovell and Mr. Chan Harris was approved by a vote of 19 to 4.

3) Appointment of a delinquent tax attorney for the county. The fees for this position are scheduled to be taken from delinquent taxes collected.

4)All new business that was scheduled to be discussed and approved involving the wastewater treatment facility at the interstate was withdrawn by the County Executive. No reasons given but a reschedule of a budget meeting was called for and the announcement that another special meeting of commissioners would be scheduled for April. Perhaps had the County Executive and some commissioners been less concerned, during the last budget meeting, with rushing off to lunch they could have gotten the needed answers then instead of having Mr. McAnulty make an unnecessary trip from Nashville and redo both budget committee and commission meeting, but it's only money and time.

Two other more controversial decisions were made and they will be posted as separate topics.

The Audit Committe should have been in place years ago but it has only happened because of the State pushing for it. What is hilarious is we have some commissioners elected to the Audit Committee who, known fact, they can't even read an audit. So expect business as usual.

I guess we should have appointed Allen Barrett since he is so easy to work with and cordial. State auditors do their job but they are at least easy to work with therefore easy to comply with.

One thing about Barrett it would have been through audits instead of just skimming a couple of pre-announced areas. Maybe it's his honesty, integrity and intelligence that makes him hard to deal with.
He appears to be intelligent enough to know what's going on, tought enough enough to not go along with wrong stuff.

So you are pretending not to know who has a spy?
