It’s good the Commission is having these meetings where they can
hear directly from the various department heads.
And with LAKE’s videos, you the citizens can hear what the departments

Billed
back in December as “Commission Meets with Constitutional Officers,
Elected Officials, and Outside Agencies”
and two weeks later than originally scheduled, it’s
three days of what is on the County’s calendar now as
Budget Hearings,
today, Wednesday,
and

all three days at the Lowndes County Governmental Building,
300 N. Patterson St., Valdosta, GA 31601.
There’s no agenda posted.
