In making the motion to
approve the purchase, com
missioner Tommy Nix called
it a “formality of bringing it
to the public,” noting that the
commission had held three ex
ecutive sessions to discuss the
matter. All five commissioners
voted to approve the purchase,
as well as went along with the
process being completed with
out once asking for the public’s
opinion.
I was told more than once this
was done on the recommenda
tion of the county attorney, so
it seems the commission could
be added to the growing list of
local governments failing to
question poor legal advice.

Long story short, the five
members of the county com
mission agreed to purchase a
piece of property that we can’t
say we really need and that we
don’t know what we might do
with, while paying way more
than it was worth, and we took
the money out of “savings” to
do it - all without letting tax
payers know anything about
the plan.
They say a fool and his
money are soon parted. In this
instance, the citizens of Burke
County have been played for
the fools.
