Some Dougherty County Commissioners are questioning whether the election verification process for a school board seat is a waste of taxpayers money.
Commissioner Jack Stone asked the County Attorney, Spencer Lee about the election process during the board meeting on Monday.
The supervisor of elections office is currently verifying close to 3,000 signatures on nomination petitions to see if Lorenzo Heard can run against Lane Price for the at large seat school board seat this November. But there's debate over whether Heard filed his paperwork properly and paid the fees.
"With our budget like it is why are we paying people to come in here and do all this back up work and checking all these signatures and everything if when you get through, he's not paid his fees, then he wouldn't be qualified anyway," said Stone.
Lee is not involved with the case, but says this is part of the legal process and both parts must be presented to the board of elections.
The supervisor of elections office hopes to finish going through all the signatures by the end of the week.
Then the board of elections will hold a special meeting to decide if Heard qualified.
