Read on Twitter
Guess who has two thumbs, a Twitter and a free morning. Me! I’m at the Marshall County Commission regular session that starts at 9. It was my plan to live tweet it, but no cell phone use in the chambers. I didn’t bring a notebook, so I’ll update from memory after it’s over. 
Okay, meeting over. It lasted about 25 minutes. Seating is limited (about 12 audience seats). In the audience there was 6 people (including me). It’s hard to hear at the back of the room (loud air unit), and commissioners made no effort to speak up, 2/
they whispered to themselves a lot. 3/
Not the most eventful meeting. Donations were made to the Marshall County Senior Center for a new van. Donations were also made to Helping Heros, the MC Chamber of Commerce, and the Lady’s League*. 4/
*The Lady’s League donation was tabled from last session because 2 commissioners have wives on the league, they got approval from the Ethics Commission to make the donation. 5/
They approved funds to the IRS, they had to approve more than anticipated because of a late payment. 6/
There was also a budget transfer request from the county clerk (I think), to reimburse an employee for 2 months of insurance when they were part time. The story was a little hard to follow, but my understanding is promises were made that they weren’t able to hold 7/
Up because of outside factors, the clerk wants to help make it right. Commissioners were concerned about setting a precedent for reimbursing insurance costs, and tabled the issue until next meeting. 8/
There were also other matters approved en bloc (exonerations and other payments) that weren’t individually read. 9/
That’s all I have for now. I’ll make something shareable outside of Twitter later. 10/
