Public Official Tells Journalist To Shut-Up | Lee County Georgia

Carol Lee with Lee County believes it is ok to tell a citizen to shut up if she doesn't like what you have to say.

A camera made her uncomfortable and when questioned about her cell phone usage instead of working she didn't like it. Demanding accountability and transparency in this building might not be an option for the people. If Carol doesn't like what you have to say then she may just tell you to shut up.

However, she did apologize at the end. I felt that it was not a sincere apology.
