Information from WYSH Radio
There was some drama during Monday night’s meeting of the Anderson County Commission when commissioners voted to go into executive session with County Law Director Jay Yeager to discuss the mounting number of lawsuits against the county. Executive sessions are called for when commissioners want to go behind closed doors to discuss sensitive issues, mainly of a legal nature.
On Monday, County Mayor Terry Frank indicated that she wanted to stay for the executive session, claiming ex oficio status as a member of the Commission. Commission Chair Robert McKamey declined her request, citing her own repeated public statements that Yeager is not “her” attorney, that he does not represent her, and that she neither values nor wants his legal advice.
After commissioners declined her request, she and several private citizens left the meeting room while commissioners retired to executive session. We will bring you more information as it becomes available.

It appears our county costs are increasing as the days go by. Who might be responsible for that?
Joseph Lee says
Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank.
We, the tax payers, will get the bill for all of this.
Eileen Slater says
How so?

Please contact your County Commissioners for the latest information on how we got into this pickle. Thank you.
