Commission Chairperson Sadie BiasCommissioner Jack Allen reported in an interview after last Thursdays work session, May 6, 2010, that Dekalb County attorney W.N. "Rockey" Watson will represent Jackson County Commission in the case of Jackson County Park vs Jackson County Commission. Mr. Watson had served as the mediator for the county commission due to the commission's recent inability to decide on a Jackson County Engineer choice.
The County Park's Attorney Mr. Gary Lackey had filed a motion with the Jackson County Circuit Court requesting that the county's attorney, Mr. John Porter, should not serve as the attorney for the commission due to a conflict of interest, having served as the parks attorney and the county commissions attorney simultaneously. It was also stated in motions filed that Mr. Porter may be called as a witness in this case. Related story: http://arklite.blogspot.com/2010/04/jackson-county-park-jackson-county.html

UPDATE: The Jackson County Commission voted today, May 10, 2010, after a 30 minute Executive Session, to hire another attorney to represent them in the Park Board case. When asked if they were going to hire Mr. "Rocky" Watson of Dekalb County as their attorney in the case, Ms. Bias replied (paraphrased), "we do not have a contract with any attorney at this time."
