There has been some rumors circulating about Michele Carringer’s 2010 County Commission attendance record after she narrowly lost the Republican primary in May 2010. I had heard she attended zero meetings after the lost. I heard another rumor that she only missed 1. So I researched the meeting minutes, there were 11 meetings that she was expected to attend by being appointed to serve. Carringer missed 6 and attended 5. That is less than 50% involvement.
The meetings and her attendance are listed below.
5/17/2010 Budget Hearing – ABSENT
5/18/2010 Budget Hearing – ABSENT
5/18/2010 Intergovernmental Committee – ABSENT
