Video: The Day Augusta Watchdogs Took Over The Marble Palace

Thursday, Augusta 23, 2012
Augusta, GA
From CityStink.net Reports

Amid all of the hullabaloo of Tuesday's runoff elections, something remarkable happened at The Marble Palace. Paul S Simon, president of Augusta Riverfront LLC, was on the agenda to give a presentation before the Augusta Commission about the Reynolds Street parking deck management contract in a special called meeting at 4:30pm. Representatives from CityStink.net and Augusta Today were also there including Al Gray, Lori Davis, Brad Owens and former Augusta commissioner Andy Cheek.  After Simon's presentation, commissioners adjourned into a closed door legal session to discuss personnel matters. That's when members of CityStink.net and Augusta Today took over the commission chambers. Al Gray went to the front of the chambers and began to address the gallery and questioning Simon about  key points in the  management contract. We have the video of that exchange below:
