County commission going to fair

Butler County commissioners are going to the fair Thursday, July 24.

Commissioners will hold their regular meeting 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Butler County Fair. Commission President Charles Furmon says it’s an effort to bring county government to the people.

Directions: One you enter the fair, walk down past the rides and the meeting will be in a covered shelter on the right, according to county staff.

It’ll cost you $6.

Now that’s a new idea, having to pay to attend a county commissioners meeting.

Don’t we have to pay to see the clowns at the circus? Might as well have to pay to see the clowns at the fair, although one has a right to receive at least $4.00 of that $6.00 back to have to listen to the Three Stooges talk.

The gesture may be genuine, but the actions seem to be anything but a violation of state laws - that is, unless allowances are made to allow people to attend for free. If not, then penalties should be assessed, including at a minimum, compensation to reimburse every meeting attendee for the price of admission. Can’t wait to read the follow-up story on this one.

This is true. I don’t see how you can charge people to attend a County Commissioners meeting. Is anyone in Hamilton thinking on this one? Oh wait… If they want to bring the government to the people, how about a few evening meetings. You just can’t tailor these things to retirees.
