JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Jackson County Commission


**********************"GARBAGE ENFORCER" *************

County Attorney, John Porter, announces that Judge Holt to send County Commission County Engineer Indecision Case to mediation. Mediation between County Officials is conducted behind closed doors. The Open Meetings Laws exempt mediation proceedures of a government body from public disclosure. Mediation is not a decision making meeting but should help the commissioners reach the proper decisions in accordance with the laws of the state.
*
Mediation is expensive, what in the county will be sacrificed due to the additional expenditures? Possibly 50% of the Commissioners pay for 6 months, the citizens should be so lucky. Mr. Clemmons already contributes his pay to the Council on the Aging.
*
