| Well I don't know what I did to my last answer. The 1/12/06 meeting so I understand it to discuss the current resignations and what to do. I don't know for a fact that the parks meeting has been cancelled but I would hope we don't have to choose which meeting we are going to.

What is stinkin' up Town Council?
That was pretty much what I was suggesting for the survey!

Don, I agree with what you said (scary, isn't it), but I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this part:
"Before they (Dunham, Strickland and Crawford) go after others (non-politicians) they are getting out before there name is smeared."
Jane, maybe your computer cable has a kink in it like a garden hose and your answers are building up in a big bubble.

I am confused by what seems like a double standard. How can people who campaigned based on little/no spending now spend money when it suits them? While I didn't agree with them, I guess I sort of respected their opinion because they were consistent -- give nothing, take nothing. I think donw ran on a similar platform (at least the limited spending part) but was much less obnoxious about it.
What is up with spending money on a new sound system? Maybe it is justified (although the one the town has was pretty expensive and is only a couple of years old I think), but can they just pick and choose what THEY want to spend money on? And what about the training in Rocky Mount? Even if one member has family there, will they both stay with her family? Who will pay for meals? What about mileage? Again, another instance of what THEY want to spend money on.
Frankly, I'm disappointed ... and insulted.

donw wrote: After attending the last meeting I really understand why the resignations are taking place. Once you think the elections are over Ms. Dunham steps up to the microphone and starts rambling on about old council meetings. Blaming and making accusations as usual.
I truly believe that Dunham and her current puppets on the board (Strickland and Crawford) have created an atmosphere where personal attacks are a way of politics in Summerfield.
Before they (Dunham, Strickland and Crawford) go after others (non-politicians) they are getting out before there name is smeared. This is my observation and believe our town is going to be labled, which will make it very difficult to get good experienced personnel to work for the Town of Summerfield.
When you vote for people who don't have good public communication skills and act as if they are the ones who are always right you are asking for trouble.
Unfortunately the Summerfield Town Council is going to get confused with the Guilford County Commissioners.
DONW
I agree Don. I think however that they've already "gone after" the employees and the committee volunteers. Or at least they are questioning, requesting extra information and work and hounding them so much it has become too much for these employees and volunteers to take. But like you said, who would want their ethics questioned publicly or be accused of buying playground equipment for personal gain?
Well said. and thanks for coming back.

I like to call the "New Jane"
CITIZEN JANE
She's a pistol and I'd be honored if she surpassed my postings.
Zippy...I was disappointed when the election was lost because 2/3 of the voters did not step up to the plate. All we can do now is try to keep them educated...

donw - I didn't mean earlier that you or your campaign were obnoxious. I just meant you seemed to have some of the same objections as the CC on the council's spending.
Crackah - You are right. If you can't vote, don't gripe. But be an informed voter and make certain you know who and what you are voting for!
Unfortunately, I think most of those who did vote were only concerned with their pocketbooks. Most people don't come to town council meetings and never will. Probably the bottom line for them was "I don't want to pay any more taxes." And the CC played right into their hands.

Hey everybody,
I started a topic some time ago, but nobody responded. I was asking how people thought the town's property on Summerfield Road should be used. I just got my first response.
Why don't you go over there and give some input?
