In an emergency meeting Friday afternoon, the Putnam County Commissioners voted to suspend county highway co-supervisor Jim Smith.

Smith's suspension is indefinite in duration and is with pay. The commissioners are likely to revisit the issue at an upcoming regularly scheduled meeting.

Full story will appear in Saturday's Banner Graphic.

  • Threatening? Really? I have known for Mr. Smith very well for several years & he doesn't have a threatening bone in his body. I'm totally dumb-founded. Is this Putnam County politics?

  • Guess you really don't know Mr. Smith then, do you?

  • Sorry for the late post. I am shocked - and have to agree with pbwanabee on this one. Mr. Smith deserves better than this after almost 30yrs of service to this County. He has always been one to hold a person accountable to do a job they are paid to do...hope that's not what this is all about. In regards to the public - are we talking about people who feel their roads deserve to be paved before others'?...sounds like a witch hunt to me.
