It is the understanding of this writer that today’s meeting was extremely short. Would the readers who attended please post the facts here? Also, the minutes from last meeting would be helpful. Thank you.
I thought the Commissioner MaryAnn Warren was supposed to relate the County’s position on specific aspects of the gas lease issues today. Apparently if it was handled at all, it was just glossed over.
