You can choose love: Valdosta vigil for Orlando
Before the names of the dead were read by 50 of the crowd that numbered at least three times as many; before the moment of silence and the prayer and the thanks to all the first responders and police who assisted at the scene in Orlando; this evening at St Barnabas Church on Bemiss Road one speaker said we could choose to focus on the person who did this horrible thing in Orlando, or we could choose to focus on fear, but as for her and her house, she chooses love: go out and do something for your neighbor.
The gathering also served as Continue reading

Here’s the
agenda
for this morning’s 8:30 AM Work Session and tomorrow evening’s voting Regular Session:
will the Lowndes County Commission spend more on mosquito testing than on renting prisoners from Valdosta State Prison?
(Answer: no,
$45,790 on mosquitos
and

Hm, if the county didn’t insist on 80-foot easements….
They’re also appointing people to four different boards. If you wanted to apply, how would you know to do so?

Public Transit Open House @ VLMPO 2016-06-28
Received yesterday via email:
Dear Stakeholders,
I am pleased to let you know that the Valdosta Urbanized Area Transit Implementation Study is well under development and it is time to share the draft recommendations with you and with the community. With your help, we reached over 500 members of the community through our online survey this Spring! The input has been very helpful in the development of the study and in fine-tuning our Pilot Shuttle Program which just received additional funding to operate through September of this year.
We will hold a Transit Implementation Study Open House from noon to 7pm on Tuesday, June 28 at the Lowndes County Judicial and Administrative Complex, 327 N. Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601. We look forward to Continue reading
Budget Meetings with less than 24 hours notice @ LCC Budget 2016-06-01
Does 9:28 AM to 8:30 AM the next day sound like 24 hours notice to you?

Subject: New Event Budget Meetings For cp-stcity2.civicplus.comA new Event now appears on our site. Please click on the link below to go directly to the new posting.

The actual event posting says “There will be no votes taken at these meetings.” Which probably gets them off the hook for the Georgia Open Meetings Law, but still doesn’t indicate they want the taxpayers to see what they’re doing.
