Monday March 12, 2012 was a regular meeting of the Jackson County Commission.
The big issue: The Jackson County Commission went into Executive Session to decide on postponing the decision concerning the TVA in-lieu-of-tax issue legal dispute between the Commission and the Legislative Delegation. Judge Little, Madison County, was the Circuit Court Judge which heard the issue before the court. Both Jackson County Circuit Court Judges recused themselves due to a conflict of interest. There was a decision reached in August 2011 but as of February 2012 a final legislative bill had not been finalized (see news articles below).
The current commission decided yesterday to allow the next seated commission to deal with the issue. It was also stated that it was doubtful the issue would be finalized during the current legislative session. Mr. Porter was authorized to approach the Court and Legislative Delegation concerning postponing any final decission until the next commission is seated. Judge Little will have to approve any actions.
