Opaque Planning Commission agenda from Lowndes County @ GLPC 2014-04-28

Just in case it might work, I sent an Open Records Request to the Lowndes County Clerk before Monday’s Planning Commission meeting. The result just arrived, two days later, 47 hours after the meeting started. It is in electronic form, as I requested, but it’s a PDF of a scanned image, so turning it into HTML would require OCRing it or transcribing it, unlike the real PDF I got by another means before the meeting and posted Monday. If the agendas and minutes for the Planning Commission were posted on the web like the Lowndes County Commissions own agendas and minutes already are, this problem wouldn’t arise, and there would also be less work for county staff.
