Giles Free Speech Zone

The purpose of the "Giles Free Speech Zone" is to identify problems of concern to the people of Giles County, to discuss them in a gentlemanly and civil manner, while referring to the facts and giving evidence to back up whatever claims are made, making logical arguments that avoid any use of fallacy, and, hopefully, to come together in agreement, and find a positive solution to the problem at hand.

The Great One Issues Another Decree

It seems that a citizens right to free speech isn't the only thing that the chosen one is threatened by.
Today an empirical decree was issued from the stately throne room high above the Suntrust Bank that there would be no more commissioner committee meetings held until after the September appointment of new committee members. It seems that the Legislative Committee had gotten out of control in their efforts to actually enforce a nuisance law passed more than ten years ago and the friend of vehicle junk yards everywhere could not allow that to happen.

So just as she stepped in and put a damper on the Adult Board when they had the gall to suggest certain beer joints on 31A comply with the law, she has cancelled the joint Legislative/Environmental Committee Meeting that was to have a member from CTAS and the solid waste officer attend.

The thing that's amazing to me is as the county executive she doesn't even have a vote on what the commission does. The chairperson of each committee sets their meetings not the county executive. Will this be the final straw that forces the commission to grow a collective backbone and actually stand up to the abuse of power being displayed by this interloper from Lincoln County? Will another invisible law be quoted justifying the suspension of reality and common sense?

Letter From Janet Vanzant


This is a copy of the actual letter Mrs Vanzant sent telling me that I could not speak at the County Commission Meeting. Notice that she acknowledges that my request was made on 21 July 2011.
Thus proving, as some have claimed, that the request was in well within the time requirements.
