Next week's commissioners meeting: A looong one.
Several public hearings, five on the bond referenda, are on next week's Guilford County Commissioners agenda.
Each side will get 20 minutes to argue their point, and three minutes apiece for rebuttal. With breaks, that ends up being roughly an hour for each public hearing.
As Chairman Kirk Perkins went over the main points of the agenda in a Tuesday briefing, he mentioned that the Feb. 21 meeting could go until midnight. He said that as he also looked for other items to table until a March meeting, to streamline the upcoming agenda.
Anyhow, it's not like the public hearings next week will mean much for the fate of the bonds. The referenda are on the May 6 ballot, when people can really decide if they want the big packages or not.
I don't have an e-version of the agenda yet, but you can expect it here once I do.
