The Cobb Board of Commissioners will hold its first meetings of 2022 via teleconference and online due to a dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases.
Cobb government spokesman Ross Cavitt said in a release Thursday that a Monday agenda work session at 9 a.m., a Tuesday regular business meeting at 9 a.m. and a Tuesday work session at 1:30 p.m. will be livestreamed.
The public also will be able to participate in public comment sessions during the Tuesday business meeting by virtual means.

I find it ridiculous that Lisa Cupid has mandated virtual meetings again as well as mask mandates in all facilities yet Cobb is still holding the LIVE – MLK Celebration at the Cobb Civic center without requiring masks, social distance and is even noting over-flow seating will be available. The hypocrisy is stunning!
