Anderson County government is again selectively blocking<\/a> websites<\/strong> from County computers, but only those where content might be found that certain officials deem politically disagreeable.<\/p>\n

Two days ago<\/a>, I praised them for removing the block, but it must have been an accident.  This morning, I’m<\/a> blocked again, as is BullMoose<\/a> and Atomic City Talk<\/a>.  My speculation for the reason is that all three of these have been home to some discussion about double-dipping<\/a> on the County payroll, critique of the Budget Director<\/a> (Gail Cook) for refusing to release to County Commission a list of all County employees who are paid out of multiple pay codes, possible insurance contract kickbacks, etc.<\/p>\n
