Blount County Commission Grading Scale
To try to bring order to the mess that is the Blount County Commssion, the Blount County Libertarian Party has established a grading scale to track how the commissioners vote. The Libertarian Party advocates fiscal responsibility and personal liberty. We believe the government should be small enough to fit inside the Constitution and that control of society belongs with the citizens. With this in mind, the grades are as follows:
A - Participated in the discussion and voted to uphold the libertarian values of fiscal responsibility and/or personal liberty.
B – Did not participate, but voted to uphold libertarian values.
C - Participated in the discussion and voted against libertarian values.
F – Did not participate and voted against libertarian values
A - Participated in the discussion and voted to uphold the libertarian values of fiscal responsibility and/or personal liberty.
B – Did not participate, but voted to uphold libertarian values.
