Clint Joyner (speaking) and J.D. Yeager (seated on right) of Joyner Realty at LCC Work Session 2012-11-12 |
invite Clint Joyner of Joyner Realty to speak like he did last month, without inviting anybody else? Will Chairman Ashley Paulk invite J.D. Yeager of Joyner Realty (and formerly Sheriff Paulk's lieutenant at the Sheriff's office) to speak? That plus solid waste (if privatization is bad for Moody, why is it good for a county public health and safety service like solid waste collection?), Dollar General (where's the marketing plan to indicate whether tiny Naylor needs the area's nineteenth Dollar General?), Library, (Houston County's SPLOST passed in a landslide after they held public hearings; maybe Lowndes County should try that), and Alcohol (county staff say they're coalescing previous changes into the body of the ordinance), all at the Lowndes County Commission Work Session this morning; here's the agenda.
When he spoke 12 November 2012, Clint Joyner started by referring to a nearby subdivision "In 2007". 2007 was the year Mr. Joyner got (according to the Commission's minutes of 26 June 2007) $130,000 in road construction labor from the Commission because of "an unforeseen Department of Transportation requirement regarding a costly intersection improvement." Why couldn't the County Engineer or Mr. Joyner forsee such a requirement?
This time many people do forsee that rezoning to develop in the Moody Activity Zones would be a bad idea. Houston County is using state and local tax money to buy up houses in similar zones around Warner Robins Air Force Base. Doubtless Houston County would love it if Lowndes County encroached enough on Moody AFB that Moody's missions moved to Robins AFB.
