One may ask, what does this picture on a button of Thomas Dewey have anything to do with the Jackson County Commission? For Monday's session the commissioners receive this "Watch for Snakes n' ~~Scottsboro~~ " official Dewey Button for a job well done in a commission regular meeting. There were no procedural errors and the meeting was run by Chairperson Bias with great professionalism. The citizens deserve nothing less at all times.>>

There was a small congratulatory ceremony for the good citizens present who worked diligently in accomplishing this project. The road was dedicated to Mr. Lambert, he was instrumental in seeing this road constructed. Commissioner Jack Smith commented, "if Senator Barron can have a road named after him Mr. Lambert can have a road dedicated to him." (My comments: The commission did an outstanding job in working on this project. Positive leadership was apparent and they accomplished what was necessary in assuring the job was completed for the benefit of the citizens of Jackson County who live on this road. Many private citizens and contractors contributed to this project. GOOD JOB! If only the positive leadership will spill forward onto the County Park issue. We may only pray and hope.) 14) County Road 491 was approved for a 2-3 surface layer treatment on the road. This road will be improved through the usage of Severance Tax Funds (WHAT EXACTLY IS A SEVERANCE TAX? Severance taxes are levied on the removal of certain natural resources from the soil or waters of the State of Alabama. http://www.ador.state.al.us/severancetax/index.html )
