The Bradley County Commission met on Tuesday covering several items of business. A discussion took place concerning the land around the airport and concerns that beavers are building in the stream nearby, which may cause future issues. Doug Berry noted that he checked with the Airport Authority and they already have professional trappers working to remove the offending beavers from the premises. Jessica Hedgcock commented on her recent arrest. There are rumors that it was staged or planned for her to be arrested over the mask issue at Cleveland Imaging. She noted that she has an exemption from masks and shields, and feels her and her family are being targeted due to recent calls and visits from the FBI. She feels there has been a lack of response from the Commission and the Mayor’s office to her calls and requests. She also expressed concern over where she can receive treatment without needing to wear a mask. Commissioner Winters asked that the issues be looked into.
