The BCC had a booth at the fair this year paid for by the taxpayers. So, why is it only one Commissioner was represented? .facebook_1508290086796.jpg .facebook_1508290177633.jpg .facebook_1508290235692.jpg

There is so much more to this story.

The republican party also had a table set up at the fair and Danny Glidewell had a stack of petitions on the table for people to sign to get him on the ballot. C. Jones would take them off the table and hide them underneath it when people approached.

She was overheard telling people that Danny opposed the sports complex down south which is a bold faced lie.

I was also told that other BCC members
were not represented at the fair because they were not told there would be a booth there for them.

The booth itself was donated by the fair association. The Cecilia Jones literature and flyers at the BCC table and the county employees who were paid to set up were compliments of the taxpayers.

If true, that sure sounds unethical and there's probably a violation there.

In the event of a dual capacity of any member of a state board, commission, or committee, any restrictive provisions applicable to either capacity shall apply.

You two should hire out to liven up boring cocktail parties. But why limit yourself to cocktail parties really I guess. Keep having fun
