…..and now it’s time for Guilford County to move on?

The Rhino’s Scott Yost stays on commissioners’ pending decision whether or not to join the new Piedmont Triad Regional Council of Governments.

The question remains exactly what is the county getting for its membership dues? PTCOG interim director Ginger Booker reminded commissioners that the council was instrumental in setting up the Piedmont Triad Regional Water Authority. PTCOG also acted as a go-between between counties and the federal government when addressing air-quality issues a few years ago.

But County Attorney Mark Payne said —according to the Rhino— that issue “was over and done with and it was not any type of ongoing service.”

As is the Randleman Dam, which the regional water authority now controls. I’ll be upbeat here and applaud PTCOG for those accomplishments, although the case was made that EPA air quality standards that placed Triad counties in nonattainment status were bogus to begin with.

But sometimes things just run their course and it becomes time to move on.
