To see the

results of the vote, all you had to do was look at Scott

Frederick's face.

As the 21st

Century Coweta president looked at the floor with

disbelief, the County Commission voted down the latest

contract proposal between the two organizations Tuesday

night.

Usually,

the debate between the two groups involves a lengthy

discussion, but Tuesday night the board voted down the

contract without a peep.

Coweta

County contributes nearly $115,000 to the group, which

tries to bring industrial prospects to the county, and

commissioners are adamant that 21st Century should

disclose all contacts made with the prospects to Buddy

Harrison, who manages the county's new industrial park.

In the

past, commission Chairman Vernon "Mutt" Hunter

has made it quite clear who runs the county.

"This

county is being run from 22 East Broad St. by five

elected officials," said Hunter.

21st

Century Coweta's board had sent a contract that would

provide the county with a list of all contacts by

potential purchasers of properties to Harrison on a

weekly basis.

But the

board would not comment on the new contract and Frederick

left the meeting room immediately after the board voted

down the latest proposal.
