Supervisors' Meeting and Executive Session

15 Jul 2011

You know, why do I keep going to these meetings? Here's the thing.

There was an Executive Session during the meeting. You know, the Sheriff stands up and announces: "The Board is now in Executive Session." He sounds like a baliff on TV. What a joke. There were maybe 10 people in the room.

Anyway, one of the items discussed in the Executive Session was the new GreenTech Plant on Hwy 304.

Apparently, the Board of Supervisors agreed through a Memo of Understanding (MOU) to purchase the land from the landowner and I guess the company will pay the county back through some sort of payment agreement.

Here's a thought: Since this "landowner" is making this deal with this private company, why doesn't he finance the land himself?

The County is already contributing a tax abatement for 10 years. Isn't that enough? There's suppose to be around 350 jobs at GreenTech. That sounds good.

Any guaranteed jobs for Tunicans? Nope.

The Board of Supervisors fooled us once with Schultz and now they are going to try to do it again. Did any one of you Supervisors ever think to say no?

And while I'm on the subject...How about holding the Supervisors' Meetings in the evening so everyone can see what you guys are doing? Oooops, sorry, already asked about this 2 years ago. Answer: Nope, nada, no can do. The Supervisors think they can be transparent at 9 a.m. in the morning.
