Don't Let Beck Resolution See The Light Of Day Again

  • Thursday, September 22, 2022

I am very concerned with Commissioner Beck 's resolution that was tabled by the Hamilton County Commission this past Wednesday.

This resolution would have defunded the Chattanooga Area Urban League of funding that was approved by the previous Hamilton County Commission last session.

If this resolution is allowed to be reintroduced and passed, it will set a terrible precedent by this commission. I am asking the entire Hamilton County Commission to keep this resolution from ever seeing light again.

Thanks in advance for doing the right thing.
