Residents raise transmission-line and emergency-service assessment concerns at Quitman County meeting

During the appearances portion of the Nov. 10, 2025 meeting three individuals addressed the commission with separate concerns.

Mr. Lester Bussey asked the board to address a proposed Georgia Power transmission line that the minutes say would run through the Bussey property. Mr. Kenneth McKinney raised questions about the Emergency Service Assessment. Mr. Hal Shadrick spoke about the Emergency Service Assessment as well and raised additional concerns involving county employees and deer camps. The minutes describe these appearances and list the topics but do not record any follow-up motions, commitments, or votes by the commission on these items.

The minutes identify the three appearances but provide no further detail about county responses or any requested next steps. The names and topics are recorded in the minutes; the record does not indicate whether county staff will follow up or whether these items will be placed on a future agenda.
