WHAT A JOKE!! Why won’t HE LEAVE THE CITIZENS IF ANTIOCH ALONE?? He’s already been fired from one Antioch position. ENOUGH OF KEN TURNAGE II ALREADY.
Lamar Thorpe was fired, so to speak, from the Economic Development Commission, should he go too. BTW I hope everyone knows that Commissions are volunteer work, not jobs, nobody gets paid. It’s like a shoe in to run for higher office like Council or Mayor. Many of them were Commissioner.
