Bryan County Commissioner Brad Brookshire didn’t hold back at Aug. 8’s commission meeting in Richmond Hill when he told the board that "we are so off-base with what’s happening in this county." His comment was greeted with applause from many in the audience but silence from the other commissioners seated near him. Moments earlier, a clearly frustrated Brookshire led the charge to get the commission to approve $609,355 in a cost-sharing proposal to put the current overhead utility lines underground from the Richmond Hill city limits to the roundabout on Highway 144.
