The mayor is a positive force for the city and has contributed numerous unpaid hours in his position for the betterment of the city. The release also points out that while the incident is unfortunate, it is not one which requires the council to take any disciplinary action. Therefore, although the city council of the city regrets the situation, it is a personal situation of the mayor and not one as to which the city council is authorized by law to base any city action upon. Jamieson's House Bill 1439, which prohibits cross county line annexation without the approval of the county being annexed, was the highlight of the session for her constituents in Banks County, she said. Much has already been said.
People understand the provisions and the protection it brings to Banks County's revenue sources.
Jamieson also addressed the Education Reform Package. She has a breakdown of the 176 page bill, by section, and said she would be glad to make it available to anyone upon request. There are still many questions pertaining to the education bill, she said. The education bill also includes language which will allow parents to apply for a waiver to send their children to a closer elementary school. This came about from the situation that exists at Baldwin Elementary School, according to Jamieson.
