One thought on “Bo Co Agenda For August 7”

  1. How about a discussion of the transparency of the county commission? How about a discussion about how the commissioners are the servants of those who elected them, not some petty potentates of their little fiefdoms? We are seeing too many instances of “we can’t comment” or “we won’t comment” or ad nauseam. The people of Bourbon County have a right to know about the things the commission is doing, planning, etc., that affects the people of the county, i.e., almost everything but those items relating to personnel that are of a sensitive nature. I make specific reference here to the recent refusal of the commissioners to talk about economic development issues and plans.
