Commission adopts Resolution 2025-12 opposing UN-originating measures on private property rights
Summary
Ware County commissioners adopted Resolution 2025-12 declaring the county will not adopt measures originating from the United Nations that the resolution says would infringe on private property rights; the measure passed 4–1, with Commissioner Leonard Burse opposed.
The Ware County Board of Commissioners on June 9 adopted Resolution 2025-12, a formal statement that the county will not adopt measures originating from the United Nations if those measures are perceived to infringe on private property rights.
Commissioner Barry Cox moved to adopt the resolution and Commissioner Jon Tindall seconded. Commissioner Leonard Burse said he considered the item "a moot point" and expressed doubt about its value; Commissioner Timmy Lucas summarized the measure as a declaration that "Ware County will not adopt anything originating from the United Nations, which infringes upon or restricts private property rights." The resolution passed by a 4–1 vote (Burse opposed).
The action is recorded in the meeting minutes as Resolution 2025-12. The minutes do not reference a specific statute or legal requirement tying the county to United Nations measures, and the resolution appears to be declaratory rather than an implementing ordinance. The minutes do not show any immediate operational change or enforcement action tied to the resolution; the action is recorded as the Commission’s formal position.
