UPDATE and edit January 5, 2021

WHAT IS THE TRUTH ABOUT TIM GUFFEY AND THE ALLEGATIONS? SPY CAMERAS - SORTID AFFAIRS -SEXUAL HARASSMENT - CRIMINAL OR UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR - ILLEGAL INFORMATION SYSTEMS INTERFACES AND/OR SYSTEMS COMMAND SHELLS FOR DIVERTING IMAGES OR INFORMATION TO PERSONAL PHONE OR COMPUTER? THERE WAS A REASON GUFFEY IS AT HOME, THERE IS A REASON A FEMALE EMPLOYEE WAS ESCOTED OFF OF COUNTY PROPERTY MID-DECEMBER, WHAT ARE THOSE REASONS?

YOU WORK FOR THE CITIZENS PUBLIC OFFICIALS, WE DO NOT WORK FOR YOU!

The citizen voters of Jackson County Alabama have a right to know the truth about this entire mess, which is getting worse due to the appearances of an active cover-up of the truth. To say an elected Chair of County Commission or an Elected County Commissioner doesn't have to show up to perform his or her sworn duties, because there is no law requiring such public officials to perform their sworn duties is preposterous and affront to our State and U.S. Constitution. Besides it is not true, we have criminal and ethics laws. 

Quote: "It isn't the original scandal that gets people into trouble-it's the attempted cover-up." 

Elected and Appointed Officials of Jackson County Alabama, you should take to heart this quote from Tom Petri. Bio on Rep. Petri (Wiki): "Thomas Evert Petri (born May 28, 1940) is an American politician who was the U.S. representative for Wisconsin's 6th congressional district from 1979 to 2015; he is a member of the Republican Party."

Todays Quote about Alabama County Commissioners from Mr. Venable: "There is no state law that requires a Chairman or Commissioner to attend a meeting. He is just not attending meetings" Referring to the alleged immediate resignation of Tim Guffey, Chair or Former Chair of the Jackson County Commission. What was the deal made? Was it to cover-up Sexual Harassment? Was it to cover-up the illegal placement of video surveillance equipment? Is there an investigation going forward? There are mixed messages concerning an investigation. Is it really in the best interest of Jackson County citizens for the Chair of the Jackson County Commission to set at home while WE The People foot the bill for misbehavior, alleged illegal conduct, violations of ethics and law? What is the real story behind all of this, why the cover-up??

ALABAMA BASS TRAIL CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT COMING TO SCOTTSBORO'S GOOSEPOND COLONY IN OCTOBER. https://www.alabamabasstrail.org/

Chamber of Commerce CEO Rick Roden made presentation regarding Scottsboro hosting the Alabama Bass Trail next month, requested Tourism Funding of $10,000 from the city, return of the investment said to be $450,000, spent in the city during the event, $6500 to be paid by the Chamber. However, it was reported the City of Scottsboro's Tourism fund has been depleted. Mr. Roden commented that if the city could not help, the Chamber would pay the full amount. Mr. Roden further commented that apparently in the transition of the former Tourism Director's retirement, the events request for funding was not brought forward to the city council.
