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."

Department of Human Resources, DHR, lease agreement history, as described by the commission,  begins at 21:05 in the video below.
The commission should take note, if there are misunderstandings regarding information available regarding the DHR lease agreement, it is because the Jackson County Commission has not explained the lease terms sufficiently to the public or were not aware of the lease terms themselves. 

Utilizing the TVA in lieu of tax decreasing amounts as an excuse to increase the lease term costs should be a non-starter since the DHR building currently costs the county nothing.
