RICHMOND – Democrats questioned, and Republicans criticized, the Ray County Commission regarding canceled plans for political gatherings at the Eagleton Center.
Eastern Commissioner Allen Dale, a Democrat, weeks earlier had told fellow Democrats they could not use the center for a political meeting.
“I was told about a month or so ago that we couldn’t use the Eagleton Center, couldn’t rent it out, because of the COVID thing, which I completely agree with,” Democrat Cindy Hewitt said prior to the Oct. 21 commission meeting.
