Hambrick, Hollandsworth named to BoA; Horton sounds off

I am still having difficulty understanding the purpose of Commissioner Bennie Horton’s rant at last night Commission meeting. Apparently someone on some blog somewhere was critical of him or his business efforts?? Commissioner Horton welcome to cyberspace! You have now spoken to the whole world! Not sure; however, an official meeting of the Lamar County Commission is the time or place for any Commissioner to vent their personal biases or problems to the public. Any comments should contribute to the understanding and promotion of county business. Oh, well it’s election season.

Commissioner Brown, not to be out done choose to announce in a very public manner his candidacy for reelection. As more often than not, Commissioner Brown bathes himself with self aggrandizement and self-adulation. An official public meeting with a captive audience is not the place for such announcements. Those who have observed Commissioner Brown for any length of time know that professional decorum has never been one of his strong suites. Unfortunately, Commissioner Brown tends to dominate the Commission meetings with his drivel and self-promoting comments. As always Commissioner Brown talks a lot; but in reality says very little.
