I've seen his name listed as being on the forum this week... Guess he was just observing but didn't feel compelled to post... Maybe that'll change.

Have been reading the postings and just had to comment. I don't know Mr. Bruce, the (now former) town planner, but I do know Bill Trevorrow. He is such a nice, genteel man. I'm sorry he was subjected to what sounds like a public humiliation. I know he has been an invaluable resource to all three towns in our area as they were incorporating and growing.
I guess I don't understand the need to be ugly about taking care of business. I think people can handle things without personalizing it....

I received a reply back at 2:00 am, too long to post, so I'll summarize:
DC basically stated he & BS were trying to weigh the benefits of getting trained before the Feb TC meeting, so they wouldn't go thru another meeting without proper training. Yes, the taxpayers are footing the bill. He asked for my opinion on their logic.
I replied the logic was horribly flawed. They have spent the past year attacking the TC, they could do things so much better, now they're in office expecting the taxpayers to train them, told him I for one am not interested in footing the bill for a 3 day vacation for them. Suggested to him if he & BS are going to "walk the talk", then cancel Rocky Mount, go to GSO class, and let the CC's foot the bill, do something positive for a change. Asked him to reply back to me with their decision.
Personally, I think we need to light up the TC's emails with objection to using taxpayer money to training our newest TC members.

| Not sure this is a good place to put this but if not Patti just move it but I am concerned about the prospect of the Fire department building a burn tower and buring cars in the Town Core district of Summerfield. Guilford county is already out of compliance with air quality facing sanctions and to increase the air polution in the densest populated area of Summerfield does not strike me as being good. We had residents complain when the Town burned the building on Old Summerfield Rd and although they may not do it every week this proposed activity by the Fire Department it will certainly impact the school and neighbors. I hope you will let you council members and the Fire Department know how you feel about this.

| He was here briefly.. probably just long enough to check the PM, post in one topic, and left. If he ever intends on running again, he may not want to tip his hand too much on here.

| Well Steve thanks for the edited version of the email that DC, uh I mean CC sent. I thought they already knew everything, whats the rush? I vote save the money and go to the Greensboro meetings. I will be writing Mayor Brown and others to voice my views on this matter.

You know what? I wouldn't mind so much footing the bill for the actual class if they chose the one in Greensboro, as long as the entire council agrees that it would be a class that would benefit the average TC member.
It's the unnecessary travel expenses I object to.
C.C could probably benefit from the experience, but I don't expect B.S to come away from the class with any new knowledge. She is already thinks she knows it all.....
Seeing that there is only one TC meeting in between the two classes, I'd say their logic has been OUTWEIGHED.
Thanks for emailing him Steve!!! Last edited on Jan 6th, 2006 07:34 pm by Cracker Jax
