Where does it say in the laws that elected officials get to be rude and down right hostile towards their consituency? I thought the lack of politeness on the part of BS tonight towards the speakers especially Paul Milam was embarassing. Several people who had never come to a council meeting asked me if this was the way the Town normally conducted their business.

Value of ever'body else's opinion: Two cents.
Value of Dwayne's opinion: Twelve-hundred dollars and no sense.
Value of seein' our duly elected town representative make a fool of himself in public again...priceless!

Just don't understand the problem with the tax payers of Summerfield coming together, pooling their money to achieve goals that the majority vote on? DC seems to feel that it is the down fall of our country.
While DC gift? of $1200 to make a point was admirable he basically just gave back his salary that he had just voted him self.
I do find it interesting that the Town can not spend $250 on Christmas cards to send to volunteers but is now paying a $1,000 a month to the council for a job that has traditionally been a volunteer non paid job. I have no problem with paying the council but the council are not the only people working in this town and an occasional pat on the back to volunteers in the form of some sort of recognition should be a good thing. Christmas cards seem to be a nice way to do it but now DC is going to pay for that also.
I thought Mark did an excellent job of controlling the meeting at one point when it almost collapsed into chaos. He showed real signs of leadership.

| So do I have it right? BS and DC want everything done in the town by volunteers, but it is a waste of money to show appreciation to these people. I guess that is why they can't be bother to attend things like a volunteer appreciation dinner. I wonder if they will manage to show up and support the wonderful park that the town now has that was not only built with tax payers money but with the hard work, sweat and tears of many volunteers.

I agree, Jane. We've already taken up a collection an' decided what to do with the money. Taxes. I reckon the SRA will gladly take Dwayne's money, but I doubt they'll accept his explanation that he's tryin' to do somethin' good.
You're makin' what kind o' gesture, Dwayne? That's right, a POLITICAL gesture.

Dwayne's whole problem with SRA is he thinks they are looking for a hand out and that is not so! The Town approched SRA not the other way around. SRA was asked what would you like to see done with taxpayers money and asked for a "wish list". SRA is a non profit organization and now DC attempt to make them look bad by saying they tried to take proceeds from another organization was a down right lie. SRA is not looking for a hand out , DC and anyone else who thinks so. SRA always and always will depend on volunteers and seek sponsorship from the area businesses. As far as the lights go SRA recieved donations as a partial cost and made payments on the balance. Dwayne only gave part of the story. I admire DC for giving a check to the Town of Summerfield for $1200 but that was what he just voted to pay himself also was it not?
Now, the truck issue.
Why did it take so long to get this truck passed? The cost of this truck per month is a whole lot less than the cost of the raise in pay DC and BS voted in favor of, by the way that was the only thing DC and BS agreed on with the other side of the table.
Where has the love gone. I was embarrassed by the way BS lashed out at Paul M. Seems to me all he was doing was at no cost to the Town. Yes he is a "developer" but looks to me like he was trying to help. Is this the way we treat someone wanting to help or do something that will be useful in the future?

I agree BB. Well said.
I was proud of how Mayor Brown took control of the situation. I also like Bill Hill's forceful yet decent approach. Well done, y'all. Keep it up.

| Mark did a great job getting control! Bill was proper and to the point. Afterwards Mom told Bill he was rude, guess it takes one to know one. Mom always disrupts every meeting she attends either by speeking out, clapping, or handing out hate propaganda. She complains about spending money for Bill's council when alot of his time is tied up answering letters and questions she is sending. This is nothing but terrorizm and needs to stop. She cornered me one day and started in about differant issues. I was pokeing fun at her and it seemed to add fuel to the fire. She made several statements without knowledge or point to her discussion. She was not capable of carring on a civil conversation with me without getting upset and talking over me. She proceeded to tell me about all the great things she has done in the past where she came from. All I ask is please go back and do great things there again.
