County Records Open to Public
County records are open to the public says Chairmen B Turman of the board of county commissioners in response to complaints about monthly reports on convict labor on public roads. He argues no legal requirement for monthly publications exists, noting meetings are public and press coverage frequent. He details funds flow, salary payments, and that most county finances are controlled by law with warrants drawn by the chair, while stressing proportional tax usage and the impracticality of publishing property owner lists. A new county map and an engineer profile of proposed work are planned to improve public information.
