Monday was a regular meeting of the Jackson County Commission.
AGENDA
Mr. Clemmons brings forward important issues as to the disclosures of commitments and spending of public funds under the control of the Jackson County Legislative Delegation.
By all appearances, the members of the Legislative Delegation do not understand the concept of Open Government or the law relating to Open Meetings in Alabama. TVA in lieu of tax funds, public funds, are dispersed in secret without any process of open deliberations or decision making concerning the funds dispositions. A lack of openness has historically been a long standing problem, changes in the local law concerning the TVA in lieu of tax has resulted in in a "muddy water" situation.
Secrecy is a problem concerning the process of open government relating to discretionary fund disbursements of the Legislative Delegation.
