PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — Paulding County commissioners did not pass a proposal that would have cut how long residents could speak at meetings and how often they could comment.
Residents packed the meeting, and several said the proposal came after people spoke out against data centers in their neighborhoods.
Residents spoke against proposed changes to the county’s public participation ordinance.
We speak with several people who were removed from the meeting, LIVE on Channel 2 Action News at 6 p.m.
The proposal would have cut public comment before the board from 5 minutes to 3 minutes.
It also would have capped total public comment at 30 minutes per meeting.
The plan also would have limited residents to 4 public comments a year.
