Toll road debate continues unabated

Lazaro Aleman ECB Publishing, Inc. Jefferson County Commission Chairwoman Betsy Barfield recently came under fire at a board meeting because of her absence from a public forum on the proposed toll road, the opposition to which continues unabated. On Thursday evening, Nov. 7, Michele Arceneaux, of Concerned Citizens Committee of Jefferson County, a group that opposes the Suncoast Connector, accused Barfield of cowardice for not attending the forum and called for the latter's resignation. â€
