The Perry County Commission held a contentious meeting Tuesday night with a new chairman at the helm and repeated financial concerns.

Commissioner Carlton Lewis, who was named chairman at the last meeting over longtime leader Albert Turner Jr., ran into challenges throughout the meeting, starting with confusion over amounts in multiple bank accounts and the ability to make payroll.

Todd and Cindy talk about this development in the Black Belt Newscast.
