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.

From The property Management Committee

Not much happening in the Property Committee held this morning at 9:30. Most of the commissioners on that committee didn't even show up for it. Non member commissioners in attendance sat in for those absent.
Only one item was brought before the committee for decision and that was to accept the bid of $115,001.00 from Elk Valley Logging to cut timber from the spring property in Campbellsville. Only trees 14 inches and larger are to be harvested.

A second item was discussed in response to a question from the public. That question was should the head custodian be using a county vehicle and taxpayer gas for personal activities?
Only one commissioner acknowledged knowing that the custodian even had a county vehicle at his disposal.
With no one knowing, and apparently very little interest in finding out, the circumstance surrounding the purchase of this vehicle and its use, who authorized it, was the bid process followed, is there any records for its usage or for the cost of gasoline and maintenance, the meeting was adjourned.

New Principal At Richland?

It seems in what may be a very surprising move to some that Dr. Tim Webb the former Superintendent of Cheatham County Schools, who resigned rather abruptly yesterday, has been appointed by The Giles County School Director to the newly opened position of Principal at Richland High School.  More information on this matter is expected to be on Channel 4 news at 6PM.
