This rumor has been floating around the county for a while now and it appears it may be true. According to Friday's Coalfield he's going to change his vote to stop 2-1. Dr. Perry is threatening to close Appalachia and Pound in response to this. The saga continues.
Probably the best thing that could happen to the county.
Not a rumor. He's publicly stated that he is going to change his vote.Quote:

Apparently, they have to vote to raise the debt ceiling and if they don't do that, then it effectively kills the 2-1 consolidation for lack of funding. Also, rumor is going around that Shortt is going to do the same thing. What was happening was that Luntsford was waiting on the SB to vote to construct the school gym since the money has already been appropriated, then he was going to change his vote. It seems he actually had them by the balls and they thought they liked it.
Interesting.
Doesn't matter where you stand on the consolidation issue in my opinion, it's still wrong to blackmail someone into voting a certain way which is basically what had happened to Luntsford. I'm glad things have change so that he can now do a little "getting back".
When is the next BOS meeting?
Shortt will not change his vote.
Even if Shortt doesn't change and Luntsford does, then the funding for consolidation dies on a tie vote.
I still have a "wait and see" attitude about Luntsford, although he did publicly state his intentions at the consolidation meeting the other night in Appy.
So does that put us back with the Bashum plan?Quote:
