After eight months of fruitless Quorum Court meetings, many of which ended in abrupt adjournments and allegations of illegal meetings, the Jefferson County Quorum Court made progress Monday night completing a full agenda and passing all but one item.
Across the years, there s not been that many "wow" moments during quorum court meetings. And that goes for all 75 of them. Maybe that s not quite true for that county to the west of us that has had its issues with establishing a casino within their borders. But by and large, the work of a quorum court and its leader, the county judge, is a sleepy affair. Keeping the roads graded and sealed, fixing or replacing a simple bridge here and there, helping out by picking up some storm debris. Yawn.
An amended complaint for declaratory judgment was filed last week in Jefferson County Circuit Court by Jefferson County Judge Gerald Robinson against all 13 Quorum Court members.
