Good one, Bubba!
Thanks for the insight, Jane.
She also has three experienced council colleagues to seek advice from in the meantime. Not to mention recovering council members like yourself.

"I have a job I was elected by the citizens to do on November 8 and have had no formal training for it." But I obviously am so well schooled in matters of law sufficient to point out all the legal deficiencies in Bill Trevorrow's work, even though I have no training for that either. But I DID work for a lawyer before...
"In order to serve the citizens properly, it is critical that not another meeting go by before I am formally trained as a Council member." Just as I twisted the statement of the Piedmont Local Governments Council that "good legal advice" was the number four goal of Summerfield to mean that Bill Trevorrow was not competent, so too can you twist this statement to mean that I have not properly served the citizens for the last two months.
"An ethical issue arose this week, which I will make public at next meeting, which I did not know how to handle because I have not had the benefit of training." Yeah, I know it was me who actually raised the ethical issue that I didn't know how to handle. Maybe I should have waited until I knew how to handle it before I raised it. Maybe I should have had some evidence to support me before I raised it instead of raising it and then saying I'll make it public at the next meeting. Maybe I am having all my concerns reviewed by my own attorney who can do the second guessing. Maybe I'll get my attorney a new job as the new attorney for Summerfield... Maybe if you ask 10 different lawyers to review the work of another lawyer, you'll get 10 different opinions.
"It is a necessity--not a luxury." It's obviously a necessity in my case, because I clearly don't understand the meaning of the word "decorum". It probably won't matter anyway, because I've made it clear I'm going to do and say whatever I want. Hopefully, I'll pick up some new tips that I can use to destroy my enemies.
"I do have family near Rocky Mount and will be combining this trip with a family visit." I could save the taxpayers money and stay with them, but I didn't run on a platform of saving taxpayers money, did I?
"I do not think 3-nights lodging and seminar registration fees are an unreasonable Town expense under the circumstances." Only town funds used to pay for something anyone else wants is unreasonable. Yeah, I know I was adamant about wasting town funds, but hey, this money is being spent on ME!
It's getting more amusing by the day. From a short distance I can view these events as entertainment. For you in Summerfield, I hate it for you. The hits just keep on coming.

SMU98- Mana for you!!!!
I'm so glad you joined this forum.
Wish you would move here. And as far as all the hits we are taking- it has been longer than 2 months- try 18.
I'm hoping the fog is lifting and the citizens can see the truth. Granted it would have been better if they had got it before Nov. 8

I am disappointed in BS answer on the so called training she is attending. It seems that responsible spending is a matter of opinion. I thought spending for the park and for the town hall was responsible spending but I see that BS doesn’t agree with that, but to spend money on a seminar out of town when one will be held locally is responsible spending. I am sure the county commissioners thought going to Hawaii for a workshop was good use of tax payers’ money also. It is just a workshop and I don’t see why waiting 3 weeks would be a hardship. Of course if they teach an etiquette course then I could see pushing up the training. Maybe they will also discuss how to properly evaluate an employee/subcontractor about their job performance without one day getting sued. I don’t think they go into those courses though. Oh and should I kiss her feet because she is saving me so much money by attending the training in Rocky Mount instead of Wrightsville? Does that make things more right?

SMU - On the statement "But I DID work for a lawyer before..." (as if that makes somebody a legal authority). Now I understand how to become an expert.
I ain't as learned as some of y'all. But one time I worked fer a dairy farmer, so now I guess I am an expert on bull crap (can I say that on here?)

Thank you again SMU98... keep 'em coming!
Now, if we could just figure out how to drag SMU98 to a TC meeting.....Would love to see her get a dose of this in public....
Zippity.... Don't see why you couldn't say that.... BS has been spoutin' nothin' but bull crap for 18 months....
Will keep my eyes peeled for a bull for ya.... great idea!
Sandra, thanks for acting as a "go between" between our elected official and her public. That can't be an easy job. We appreciate it.

SMU98.. thank you for your insight from afar.
I believe your words were very revelling!!
Our situation here or as you said it, "the hits that just keep on coming," seem to be apparent to the proverbial outsiders looking in...wow!!
SMU98 your vision is better than 20-20. Thanks, we can really use your observations here.
Keep them coming neighbor!

DOGGETTJA wrote: Another concern I have, uhhh ohh does that make me a concerned citizen? Horrors!!! Anyway if I understood the special called meeting discussion the other night 2 of the attorneys that the town is interviewing out of three have connections to BS. She went to school with one and worked for the other. While those two facts in and of them self are not necessarily a problem it does cause me pause for concern. Did anybody else pick up on those facts?
Yes, Jane, I heard the same thing.
Matter of fact, I heard BS use the words "May I lobby?" before presenting her candidates.
Not sure if everybody realizes it, but these BS-rent-a-torneys are costing $65.00/hour more than Mr Trevarrow was being paid. I noticed Carol Collins picked up on that quickly. This is supposed to be an "advantage" over paying Mr Trevarrow his $275/hr. Now it will be interesting to see long Summerfield winds up paying this premium on the rent-a-torneys, and how much MORE the replacement attorneys cost us.

They make Pappy's skin crawl with their supremely aloof posturing and their self-righteous standards that they don't bother to try and meet, as if they could. And always that pervasive subtle threat of secret knowledge and THE LAW. To them, like all bullies, "respect "is synonymous with "fear." They ain't gonna get neither one from Pappy!
Pappy's dog's got more common decency and better manners, not to mention better hair.
