Washington County Commissioner Mark Ferguson apologized on Monday for what he called an “inappropriate comment” he made at a June 27 commission meeting.
During a discussion about the merits of purchasing more land in the Washington County Industrial Park, which is already home to Japanese companies Koyo and Nakatetsu, Ferguson made reference to the “Jap plants” in the park.
At the time, the Jonesborough Herald & Tribune printed Ferguson’s comment in its July 5 edition; the Johnson City Press did not report the reference. Both newspapers are owned by Sandusky Newspapers Inc.
