The devil may be making me do it, but here is an entire, unedited series of emails about a missing transcription tape from an important, Bibb County meeting back in December of last year.
It was a critical meeting, apparently, and the official (written) records are in much dispute. A tape was made but nobody can find it now.
Click on MORE and discover there is much that is still Gothic about Bibb County, Georgia.
We are indebted to Vic Jones for pulling this together and passing it along. Thanks, Vic.
FYI local, state press:
"The Case of the Missing Bibb County, Georgia Audio tape of the Dec 11,
2006
County Commissioner meeting, which committed dozens if not hundreds of
$millions in "Georgia Taxpayer's (YOUR) Money" via GDOT."
The original meeting minutes were changed 8 or 9 months after the fact.
