The Columbia County Library Advisory Board’s regional representatives had such courage of conviction with their “yes” votes on the regional board meeting on 12/10/2024 for the new age-based guidelines, that three out of the five people who voted for it have since resigned.
A responsible board member would have abstained from voting on the matter. Ms. Brantley helped to introduce the guidelines, felt their approval and application was quickly getting out of control, and even claims to have physical medical symptoms due to the stress of the situation but still voted! It just doesn't add up. I was at the December meeting(s) when the guidelines were adopted and I didn't hear any board members discuss any such concerns before voting.

Yeah, nobody seemed very conflicted when they voted. It almost seemed pre-determined.
