To be clear and a point I should have emphasized in my original post. I wish I had clarified that up front.
The Sumter County representatives at Monday's meeting are not elected officials. They do not have the authority to approve or deny these actions. They are the body charged with making a recommendation to the Sumter County commissioners.
The commissioners will hear public comment and vote in October. They ARE representatives of the people and subject to reelection. Three of the five are lame ducks.
