The Board of Commissioners came to an informal consensus, 3-2, on a final $57.6 million SPLOST list Thursday night, but not before a contentious discussion broke out about which projects should be included and whether or not the three commissioners in favor had met illegally prior to the meeting. The question of whether or not an illegal meeting had taken place was based on a comment made by Commissioner J.C. Henderson, who voted in favor of a final SPLOST list proposal presented by Commissioner Mort Ewing. Ewing and Commissioner Tim Fleming also voted in favor.
