Franklin County commission meets Tuesday

       Franklin County commissioners have scheduled a public hearing for Tuesday to do away with local gun laws.    

The public hearing is scheduled for 10:15 tomorrow morning during the county commission’s regular meeting.

The county is being forced to repeal local gun laws because of a new state rule that took effect this year that gives the state government authority over all gun laws.

Other items on tomorrow’s agenda include a presentation from the group Students Working Against Tobacco on a county smoke-free plan as well as a presentation from the group 211 Big Bend.

211 Big Bend is a free phone service that provides emotional support, crisis counseling, suicide prevention and information.

Seafood Worker Association President Shannon Hartsfield will update the county on the Association’s activities and county library director Glenda Ondracek will introduce the new administrator for the Wilderness Coast Public Library System.

The Wilderness coast system provides library services to Franklin, Wakulla and Jefferson counties through bookmobile services and high-speed Internet.

County commission meetings are open to the public.

If you would like to attend it begins at 9 tomorrow morning at the Franklin County Courthouse annex in Apalachicola.
