County Commissioners

For some reason I was watching the County Commissioners meeting on tv. They were discussing a discount on county contracts for local companies. A pretty complicated issue when you consider a business may open an office in Manatee County just for the duration of the contract and then close shop, a company from out of state may bid and then hire all local workers to perform the work, a company non-local may not require county services and therefore put no strain on a financially strapped school system and many other issues to be discussed. One of the county commissioners decided the issued had been discussed long enough and requested the speaker to take into account all the discussions and rewrite law and then bring it back "not before lunch or at the end of the day when we are all cranky." Since I tuned in about an hour before lunch she must have meant first thing in the morning. Wonder if they should take a snack break. Now I know what happened when I went before the Commission to discuss the unfettered development springing up in my area. It was late in the afternoon and everyone must have been cranky.
