SUMMARY: In Lee County, residents are divided over a proposed regulation on mobile homes, which has not yet been voted on. Some believe it will enhance property values, while others argue it will hinder homeownership. The regulation stems from concerns about sewage management and includes a requirement for a two-acre lot for mobile homes, although it does not apply in land-perk areas. Critics, including Lee County Board of Supervisors President Wesley Webb, argue that the costs associated with meeting these new requirements could make homeownership unattainable. A meeting is scheduled to discuss the regulation further.

The board of supervisors are pausing the enforcement of new mobile home regulations. A public meeting is scheduled to hear from the public.

SUMMARY: Columbus police recently engaged in an unusual pursuit involving a runaway hog named Bobo, weighing between 700 and 800 pounds. After escaping from a pen in the New Hope area, Bobo eluded capture for about eight days, even being spotted near a daycare. Officers, prompted by the police chief to apply their “country boy expertise,” teamed up with animal control to wrangle the spirited pig. After a challenging chase through the woods, they successfully caught Bobo, who will soon be sent to a meat processor. Thankfully, no injuries were reported during the adventurous ordeal.

Police officers in Columbus sure do have a wild story to tell.
