Cobb Chair Tim Lee and Cobb Commissioner Lisa Cupid battle over fair access to public funds for non-profits.  Previously in the meeting, an argument had taken place over Cupid's desire to remove her consent from a number of items on the consent agenda.

The items included "emergency funding" for the non-profit associated with Lee's wife.

Other items were things not scrutinized in the normal budget process that includes justifications and public hearings.

The list also included license plate scanner system, tasers, and body armor.

Commissioner Lisa Cupid asks for a little more time to look it over in the future .

This triggers a four minute assault by Cobb chair Tim Lee. In his view, Lisa's request for more time is "a complete insult to the county manager."
