Really, nothing for them to hide? How about secret committees? Who selected the so-called Friddle ballfield site in January 2007? Answer: A secret committee made up of Town Administrator, a Town Council member who owns adjacent commercial property, the President of Summerfield Recreation Association and his 12 year old son, and a real estate agent who has since lost his license in June.
In 2004, the council at the time, consisting of Williams, Barnes, Collins, and currently non-council members Stewart and Doggett, used secret real estate agents and illegal violations of the Open Meeting laws of North Carolina to try and get what they wanted.
Yeah, they're good to go!!

| I guess what I was trying to express with my comment is that the incumbents are on the record in how they have voted and what they have said during public meetings. Now, I'm not sure about those secret committees you are referring to. To my knowledge the town announced publicly that they were looking for land suited for ballfields in 2007 and asked for ideas, help and involvement from the community.

Shamu, from my experience, being the nice guy (or gal) isn't enough to win a political election.
Remember, the candidate has to make the case for CHANGE.

| Sorry Shamu but there were no illegal meetings held to buy Rabbit hollow or any where else for that matter while I was on the council. We held those meetings with Mr. Travarrow, town Aattorney present and with his full knowledge and experience. I am sure that you and the rest of the neighbors on Rabbit Hollow would have had us in court if it had been illegal.

| Who is REALLY running this town? I say we form another group apart from the CCS, FFS, and the TC. (that was a joke) Summerfield is the laughing stock of NW Greensboro. I hope the NEW elected officials can get Summerfield's good name back and do away with all of these insignificant groups, or don't let the groups try to fatten their pockets. With all these groups I am embarassed to say that I live in Summerfield. Well...Now that the forum is coming to an end, maybe we can all gather at the expensive ballfields that will be built and fellowship there. By the way what is going to happen to the old ballfields? Why can't they be fixed up? It's been nice to chat with you people and to see everyones opinions.

Shamu and the CCs will twist this and anything else they can think of to get elected. That's all they care about.
You don't think these hotheads care about you do you? They're using you!
Summerfield, please, find out the truth, independent of both sides. Don't let them ruin good people's reputations.
That's not right. You know it's not right. It's up to you to stop this kind of twisted game.
Don't take my word or their word for it. Find out the truth for yourself.
THIS IS YOUR TOWN! ACT LIKE IT!

I respectfully disagree. First of all nice can be subjective. Secondly, I view myself as a nice guy and I am runnig to win! I, however, am going about it differently than most; honest views, candid speak, and no mud slinging. I am striving to be a gentleman that truly believes in my own opinions/points of view but willing to listen to all points of view. By doing that you can make a case for change! Remember just because it is easy (speaking negatively about council members and fellow candidates) and politically expediant, does not make it right. I challenge all candidates to take the high road...I know it is harder by it will pay off by showing everyone your integrity, self respect and certian level of class!
Lets get back to the important issues... how/where/when/why do we improve Summerfield!

You've got my vote, especially if you don't take bribes, and if you aren't someones puppet in the CCS, FFS, or the TC.

In any election, if you don't make the case for change, then there is no change.
In which case no matter what you do or how you conduct yourself as a challenger, you still lose.
And if you are not running to win, then why are you running?

Skiddles,
If the Committies were secret and the meetings were so secret
Makes one wonder how Shamu knows so much.

Pappy's going to vote for all of the incumbents, but I agree with him, it does SOUND good.

Maybe Shamu is a mad relative or a friend letting everyone know what's going on, you think? Just a thought since you brought it up. Are you part of the FFS, CCs, or TC? Hmmmm...
