Info below.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-size: 15px;">There is a serious deficit regarding Hazard Profile Section 4, Division F in regards to Tornado Activity and the TVA's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN). A near miss occurred on April 27, 2011 in Limestone County. The F-5 tornado took out incoming power to the nuclear reactors, there was one backup generator failure. --- BFN is a GE Mark 1 Reactor design, there are no hardened overhead secondary containments covering the 3 GE Mark 1 Reactors and fuel pools at BFN. The overhead area is sheet metal attached to steel I beams. --- The area experienced no electrical power for an extended period, some areas were without power in excess of 5 days. --- A direct hit of the reactor building by an EF4-5 tornado would likely be a catastrophic event involving all of North Alabama and portions of South Tennessee. A release of radioactive material in the immediate area and downwind would be a high probability. --- TVA's, Tennessee Valley Authority, and NRC's, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, assessment of the event was unreliable, and their reporting accuracy to the public was flawed.

Everybody is wanting to help themselves to the reported $10 million dollars of the American Rescue Plan Funds, specifically for Jackson County (Didn't know about that, huh?); Scottsboro gets $2.8 million. The Mayor of Scottsboro was given the authority to approve the funding of the $2.8 million available to the City of Scottsboro. It appears the commission is not being upfront about this reported $10 million dollars funding available to Jackson County, according to reports from other government officials. Trails, coffee shops, running clubs, bars; Venable has already discussed his plans in Hytop, and again today. How about the ROADS destroyed by storms, the trafficking of drugs by the Mexican Cartels, (I'm sure the GOP political regime would like to deny this fact identified by the DEA.), then there are the poor people??? </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: #f0f2f5; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;">What was it that Doctor "212 Mile Singing River Trail" Cavinish said?

font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">Don't count on Bellefonte Nuclear Facility being dead. The reason Nuclear Development, LLC lost their case regarding the purchase of the nuclear facility was due to the requirements to have a comprehensive Quality Assurance Plan required by law and monitored by the NRC. Cancellation of the NRC construction license opens the sale up without the restrictions of NRC oversight as required by law, as stated in the court documents. This may free up the sale of Bellefonte to Haney or another buyer without the oversight of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). However, if nuclear construction is to be renewed the NRC licensing and oversight process would begin, and the licensing process has changed from the old process.</span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: #ccddcc; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: #ccddcc; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span face="Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px; text-align: start;">The opportunity exists for sustainable energy projects such as large scale solar, run of the river power generation and other hydro projects such as pumped storage generation.</span></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: #ccddcc; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: #ccddcc; clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>UPDATE - September 2, 2021 - TVA's Notice to the Court - (1)</b></span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> The construction permits issued by the Nuclear Regulatory

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">SUMMARY<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Special Report on the Jackson County Commission August 24, 2018 through December 4, 2020 </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Jackson County Commission (the “Commission”) is
governed by a five-member body elected by the citizens of Jackson County. The members
and administrative personnel in charge of governance of the Commission are listed on
Exhibit 1. The Commission is the governmental agency that provides general administration,
public safety, construction and maintenance of county roads and bridges, sanitation
services, and health and welfare services to the citizens of Jackson County.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This report presents the results of a special examination
of the Jackson County Commission and a review of compliance with applicable laws and
regulations in accordance with the requirements of the Department of Examiners of Public
Accounts under the authority of the Code of Alabama 1975, Section 41-5A-12. We performed an
examination of credit card transactions and other expenditures made by the
Commission to determine whether inappropriate use of public funds occurred. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">FINDINGS<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Instances of noncompliance with state and local laws and
regulations and other matters were found during the examination, as shown on the Schedule of
Findings and they are summarized below.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face=""Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">♦</span> 2021-001 relates to the former

the county’s travel policy regarding credit card usage and documentation of credit
card charges.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span face=""Segoe UI Symbol",sans-serif" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol";">♦</span> 2021-002 relates to the former

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">21-236 B - CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIAL</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As reflected on Exhibit 2, the charges against the former
Commission Chairman resulted from noncompliance with requirements prescribed by the Chief
Examiner of Public Accounts and the county’s travel policy related to credit card usage
and documentation of credit card charges, as well as the failure to provide an adequate
reason for mileage claimed for travel. Official demand was made on the former Chairman
requesting payments totaling $3,918.11.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The former Chairman failed to appear at a meeting before
the Chief Examiner and show just cause why the amounts should not be repaid; therefore,
relief is accordingly denied as evidenced by the Order of the Chief Examiner contained in
this report. After the Order of the Chief Examiner was issued, the charges were repaid in
full.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">EXIT CONFERENCE<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The Commission members and administrative personnel, as
reflected on Exhibit 1, were invited to discuss the results of this report at an
exit conference held via teleconference. Individuals in attendance were: Commissioners: Danny Rich
and Jason Venable; and Bob Manning, County Administrator. Also, in attendance
was a representative from the Department of Examiners of Public Accounts: Dixie
Broadwater, Special Projects Manager. The results of this report were also discussed

seriousness of this event in his statement, Clarion's Facebook link above, and all that
surrounds Guffey's resignation. Quote from the Chief Examiner in the audit
report: "Instances of noncompliance with state and local laws. . ."
The near $4000 of credit card abuse may have been repaid; who repaid the tax
payers of the county for the auditors cost ($5,000-$10,000 maybe more), who has
repaid the county for Guffey setting at home doing nothing for 4 months, December
2020 thru April 2021, at tax payers expense, approximately $19,000, per
commission approval, for his alleged illegal and unethical behavior regarding
sexual harassment and creation of a hostile work environment, including alleged
criminal behavior investigated by state law enforcement investigators? What is
the outcome of that investigation? What
type of actions is the county taking to insure sexual discrimination and
creation of a hostile work environment will not reoccur?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>COMMISSION ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT AND CENSOR SPEECH RELATED TO THE GUFFEY AFFAIR AND ACTING CHAIR JASON VENABLE'S VIDEO OF SPECIAL REPORT AUDIT</b></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3UJ7yYYEexRPf6Rg4_P1E0cDUu8DqOOBuisH3CuDCU6_a1oG3FrOsM0s8rmjMouoDp5jgV1u-y55JXMBksCFqFgaWQgqyktfOnLZIjhm-gJQ1_BmnKdqAsWiE3VqkKCmywIxEFYCEH5N/s2615/JCC+Censorship+on+FB+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="2615" height="184" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3UJ7yYYEexRPf6Rg4_P1E0cDUu8DqOOBuisH3CuDCU6_a1oG3FrOsM0s8rmjMouoDp5jgV1u-y55JXMBksCFqFgaWQgqyktfOnLZIjhm-gJQ1_BmnKdqAsWiE3VqkKCmywIxEFYCEH5N/w400-h184/JCC+Censorship+on+FB+%25282%2529.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Photo capture on Jackson County Commissions Facebook site by G.
