County Commission retreat this weekend

Did you know about the Lowndes County Commission retreat this weekend? It wasn't mentioned at their recent regular meetings, it's not on their website calendar, and there's no agenda posted, either. Fortunately, the VDT at least has been informed about it.

VDT editorial today, Commissioners annual retreat this weekend,

The Lowndes County Commissioners and staff are attending the annual planning retreat this weekend, but are not spending any county funds doing so.

Chairman Ashley Paulk invited the county to hold the retreat at his farm, and he's doing all the cooking for their meals, at no charge to the county.

It's good Ashley Paulk wants to contribute to the public good in that way.

However, this is a public meeting of an elected body, and the public has not been informed of where it is, for example, at which of Ashley Paulk's farms? Maybe they'll at least keep good minutes.
