I know Lester will do great things with property. He is a great asset for Lamar County. Thank you Lester for investing in Lamar County. I hope the community will support you in what ever you do with property because I know it will be good.

I am glad someone local purchased this building. I hope the City of Milner and the county will have financial resources from this to reach the goals they are persueing.

I don't know about Milner but the county did'nt reach their goal which was to pocket a lot of profit,not sure if they even broke even.

Please, give me a break. That property should have sold for at least $500,000. Why wasn't a minimum bid set to begin with or at the very least put on the open market?

anon 3:07: it was on the open market for anyone to buy.

let me clarify.. was the property advertised in the Atlanta, Macon and other large market papers? Possibly it should have been listed with an agent from a larger market that specializes and has experience in commercial properties ( and no, I am not a real estate agent).

Kick-backs that you are unaware of and that those receiving them deny.

If the county can take your property and sell it for the back-taxes you owe even though you have worked hard to pay for it. what difference does it make if we sell something that was ill gotten to the highest bidder. Thank you Mr. Ranew. hope to see the place put to some good use.

Good for Lester. I do agree that anything over $300k for that property is icing on the cake. I also believe that there were kickbacks. There are always kickbacks. It's the price of doing business, anyone should know that. By the way, if you decide to write comments on this site, check your spelling and grammatical skills.

if there is missing $$ at the SO, I wonder if it is the same place that several hundred thousands are that were taken from a business in a neighboring county. That female now works at the SO.

She must be a close friend of buice because that is all it takes to work there.

Hmmm.... that info sounds like it could be juicy. Anyone know anything about that? I'd be a kept man if I could fine a woman that would bring home that much bacon!
