The Lowndes County Commission has voted (4-1) to allow an easement to the Sabal Trail gas pipeline, for a one time payment of 54,000 pieces of silver through the closed Clyattville landfill, which is a known polluter of mercury into the local environment. 

In late 2014, after an impassioned plea against this pipeline by yours truly, County Commissioner John Page, said, "No one on this Commission is in favor of this pipeline." Subsequently, the County Commission voted for a resolution against the Sabal Trail Pipeline. What has changed between then and now?

Were they lying to us then? The Commission can take a stand, I don't care. What I don't like is that they lie to us, the citizens of Lowndes County. The citizens of Lowndes County had effectively a mere twenty four hours or less to muster opposition from the time we were made aware of the issue. 

With this vote they effectively align themselves with the Sabal Trail Pipeline project, and against the citizens of Lowndes County. A year ago they voted against the pipeline. Now they voted in favor of the pipeline for a mere one time $54,000 payment. Seriously, say what? This is very weird to me.
