Former Planning Commission Member John Jordon Speaks Out

(Cleveland)-Former White County Planning Commission Board member John Jordon is now speaking out about his termination by the White County Commissioners earlier this week. Jordon said he was not surprised by the action taken, since Commissioner Joe Campbell has been trying to get him off the board for a long time.  According to Jordon this situation has been brewing for the last 2½ years, but he said he felt he deserved better treatment.

He said he tried to give it all while serving on the board. The apparent straw that broke the issue wide open was the letter to the editor in the White County News last week about his disagreement with the commissioners concerning special called meetings. 

Jordon said he has the right of free speech and the special called meetings requested by the commissioners that he referred to in the letter were called to help a good friend of at least one of the commissioners. Jordon said the people deserve better. 

Now that the commissioners have removed him from the board Jordon said this just unleashes him to speak out and you will be hearing more from him.
