The Gadsden City Council on Tuesday again heard positive comments about a proposed Pilgrim’s Pride rendering plant in Gadsden — but council member Jason Wilson reiterated his opposition to the plant in his closing remarks after hearing from those speakers.
“I don’t really understand what’s going on,” Wilson said as the virtual meeting concluded. “We keep getting these people coming and speaking to this body, yet supposedly we’re supposed to be left out of the loop because of confidentiality?”
While Wilson thanked each speaker -- all from out of state -- for their time, he said he was confused as to why they were addressing the council when members “may not even get the chance to vote on this.”
