Winder to televise both monthly meetings

After getting used to its televised monthly voting sessions, the Winder City Council Tuesday night voted to begin televising its more substantive work sessions starting in October.

Councilman David Maynard broached the subject during Monday night’s meeting and asked that the topic be added to the agenda of Tuesday’s voting session. He said the city should make more use of its investment in the audio and video equipment being used to televise the voting sessions.

“I think we should televise this meeting,” he said. “This is more informative to people than our regular meeting.”

When Mayor Chip Thompson was asked Monday night where he stood on the issue, he begged off, telling the council that it would find out his position Tuesday night if he had to break a 3:3 tie on the matter. Thompson previously expressed reservations about televising council meetings.

But his tie-breaking vote wasn’t needed after all on Tuesday night. The vote was 6-0.

Akbar I remember one of the anon's made a fool out of you last week ... yet here you are again. As you tell others ... shut up and get off the airwaves. You must be such a small man. We can tell you have a simple mind.

Tom,

Stay out of it or we'll take your keyboard away!

Just try it! Allah is just another basher, but has no answers. It is cheap and easy to pick on someone else. That way you don't show your short comings.

You are not man enough to take my keyboard! I will give you the pass on this one because you do not know who you are talking to. Face to face you have NO guts.

Everyone knows what Dixon is, and some people will have to admit they voted for him. I use to attend the council meetings until he started going on and on and on about nothing, or getting so off topic you couldn't keep up with him. I'm glad they are going to put the work sessions on tv so I can turn the channel when he starts instead of just sitting there.

#3 Agree with Allah on 08/04/11 at 04:50 PM [Reply]

You must also be an idiot. You must of run against Dixon and lost. You got beat so deal with it.

allah(you got to be kidding)
it is evident that you are a double dipped moron and are a cross between idiotwood and dick-son.
You should not post anymore until you are able to make sense and know what you are talking about.

Is that you Mike? Haven't you learnt your lesson?

#3.1.1.1 Tom on 08/04/11 at 08:04 PM [Reply]

No I am not Mike. Do you know how STUPID you look? Your funny little name shows you have no guts ... and we know you have no ideas that work. You’re just a basher ... incapable to lead.

Yelp you are the one that anon made you look like a redneck idiot last week. You can't hide your head ... you see are that winder redneck.
