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."

The Jackson County Legislative Delegation has the following fund balances: Delegation Office Account - $86,393.00; Discretionary Fund Account- $830,446.65 as of today's date.
 
All requests for funds were tabled until "the Discretionary Fund Budget" could be reviewed. However, by a 4 to 2 vote it was approved that $225,000 be taken from the Discretionary Fund for the Legislative Delegation's office space. Revenue Commissioner Ron Crawford and Commissioner Stacey Ledwell voted against the $225,000 "loan," as described by Mr. Johnson and Mr. McGill to be transferred from the Discretionary Fund to the Delegation office fund. Please watch the video for more on this issue.
