A newly formed

library committee has caused one Coweta County commissioner to change

his vote from a previous meeting.

During a County

Commission meeting last month, Chairman Jim McGuffey appointed members

from the Grantville Library, the Senoia Library and the Newnan-Coweta

County Library to the committee that will work on plans and a building

site for the county's new library.

The commission

voted unanimously on McGuffey's appointments, and it was thought the issue

was settled.

But Tuesday

morning, Commissioner Lawrence Nelms asked that his vote be changed to

oppose the appointments before the minutes of last month's meeting were

approved.

Nelms said

he had a problem with the appointments, since all of the appointees were

either in McGuffey's district or Commissioner Vernon "Mutt"

Hunter's district.

"There's

no representation from the third, fourth or fifth districts. The library

will probably be built in the fourth district, near Thomas Crossroads,"

he said.

But McGuffey

said he appointed the members because they were all members of the county's

library community, and he was not looking at district lines.

"I'm not

going to change my appointments," he said.

Nelms argued

that most committees have representatives from each of the five commission

districts, but McGuffey stuck to his guns and refused to change his mind.

Hunter added

that any recommendation from the committee would be brought before the

commission, where all commissioners could voice their opinion on decisions.
