What makes 'Scoop a little nervous ...
... is hearing an elected official say that a meeting agenda looks dull. That can only mean, by rule of Murphy's Law, that tonight's meeting will be full of suspense, fireworks and the good gov't action that keeps dedicated legions of Scoopsters coming for more.
Well, here's the agenda for tonight's county commissioners meeting.
A few highlights include locking down an interest rate for $100 million of the county's finances, some riot gear for the county jail and a presentation on the county's new method for collecting taxes.
And then there's the sales tax. Commissioner Linda Shaw, who told us this morning that tonight's meeting looks a little dull, said she hopes to talk to the commissioners supporting the sales tax about how that the ball should get rolling. If it's going to pass, then there should be a little more promotion before the public in time for the fall election.
"We've only got about 50-some days before the election," she said.
Election Day is 46 days from today. And absentee balloting has begun. Early voting begins Oct. 16.
