County Mayor, Commission Violating Sunshine Law On School Projects Issue

  • Friday, March 14, 2014
The Hamilton County Commission and the County Mayor should be called to task for the violation of the Sunshine Law and transparency in government. 
 
The debate over where to build new schools is very important to the citizens of this county, and to make the deal behind closed doors is not in the interest of the people that need the schools or the rest of this county.  The discussion of how many schools we need and how many we should build should be done in front of the public and not hidden for political purposes. 
 
However, one thing I do know about this commission, is that if people react loudly enough to their decision, they are fully able to change their mind and their vote immediately.
