More than a half dozen citizens condemned a Planning and Zoning Commission member Monday for what they called “xenophobic and racist’’ social media posts about illegal immigration. They appeared during the County Board of Supervisors meeting requesting that Lajuana Gillette be sanctioned for the comments they found troubling.
