In addition to Myron Iwanski dropping in to discuss the closed doors of the most recent Anderson County Commission meeting, our other District 8 rep, Robin stopped by.  Unfortunately, my Spam blocker evidently hasn’t been getting enough attention from me, because her comment remained blocked from the time she posted it last night at around 9:30, until now (when Netmom brought it to my attention, thanks NM!).

Robins comments were as follows:

“I did not succumb to any pressure Monday evening, I acted on the advice of your county’s law director, Mr. Yeager, on an imp’t on-going legal matter invovling AC and Clinton, for the past 5 years. He is the voice for AC in this courtcase. Legal council, whether for a group or individual entity is a personal matter, not to be taken lightly. In Exec Session, the law allows the legal representative to talk to the commission on the legality of the situation they are invovled in. Commissioners are not allowed to talk to each other- only to the attorney who represents them during that time. No action,or motions were taken; it was a question and answer time, which explains the duration, as many commissioners asked legal questions of our attorney, and he explained to us the seriousness of the case. The annexation issue between Clinton and AC has been a long process, and I am becomming more aware of all the ramifications of it, as I am now on your commission. Anyone who knows me from my different areas of service in Oak Ridge, knows I am a straight forward and painfully honest person. I feel by taking the advice of an attorney was in the best interest for OR, and the rest of AC. All of this will be coming out on the ongoing lawsuit, I am told, most likely in the next month or so.
Our meeting in Oct. will be the 16th, and @ 9:30 am. Folks are always welcome. Bring a jacket for the courtroom, as I almost froze in there Monday evening!
Now, since this is the first time I have ever used this system, I do hope I send it properly!”

Robin, I apologize for the rather facist nature of my spam blocker, and I hope it didn’t cause you any worry.

Furthermore, you, along with Myron, have completely explained things (or at least to my satisfaction), and I will send no more evil looks or hexes your way regarding this.  I still think the timing could have been better, just from the scandalous nature of A.C. politics these days, but I’m glad to see that you and Myron are taking care of things in Clinton.

Thanks very much for stopping by, and you (along with everybody else) are always welcome to drop by and correct me when I mouth off.
