Thanks for sharing HB
He doesn't seem to get it does he. the honest part.
Yea it said no taxes, but the next words on the flyer are the explanations for if we did have to TAX. Did he not read any further after he got what he wanted with the no tax thing.

Good point, Bubba!
He seems a little deperate an' confused lately. I wonder if the oracle he consulted left that part out o' the translation.

In my opinion here are the issues:
1. How is it decided what content is posted on the Town's Website? The answer to this question does not depend on the content itself. It just happens in this instance that the posted document is controversial. I don't know what the town's policy is about this - does Dwayne have carte-blanche to post on his own whim?
Here is what he wrote.
Now let me get this straight, it is your position (all of you on the TO list) that this document SHOULD NOT BE posted on our town web site where all citizens can find it? In other words, you wish to oppress this document, right? If so, please, please, give me that in writing.
It seems that Dwayne is getting confused - The issue is not whether or not the document should be suppressed (no one is suggesting that) but rather who gets to decide what is posted on the Town's website. Perhaps Dwayne needs to give us - in writing - where he has been given the authority to post what ever he personally determines is appropriate on the website without council approval.
2. The 'No Tax' pledge was based on conditions that existed in 1996 when it was the policy of county commissioners to distribute sales tax revenues to municipalities. We all know that during the economic slump of 2001-2003 the State Government could not balance their budget so they kept more of the county's sales tax money in Raleigh - this in turn caused the county commissioners to change their policy about distribution to municipalities. With that change in the revenue stream the Town of Summerfield had to rethink its tax policy. Dwayne seems to have a problem understanding this.
3. Please forgive my ignorance but is it in fact a part of the town charter that a vote must be held for taxes above 20 cents?
Let the fun continue....

| I agree. I am not saying that the document shouldn't be hidden away somewhere. I just think that if DC wants to push his own agenda then he needs to look for a different media. Use the Concerned Citizens website or start his own blog. Shoot he is always welcomed to come here and post his thoughts and opinions. But I feel he violated a trust by posting that outdated document and in Bill's email to Dwayne that this could be one of several renditions. If we are at least going to keep track of Summerfield's history let's make sure we have the correct document.

I agree, Salty.
If Dwayne's capable of doin' this kind of thang without apparent remorse or even a rudementary understandin' of what his actual transgression was, then I have to wonder what other little behind the scenes mischief does he feel it's OK for him to do?
To me, this is a severe breach of trust an' abuse o' power for an elected official. I hope the mayor an' the rest of the council condemn his actions in the harshest terms!
Dwayne, do you really not understand how wrong it was for you to abuse the trust placed in you like this? Or do you know and just don't care?
You need to apologize to the people of Summerfield for abusin' their trust an' wastin' our time!

| I think it at the very least deserve a closed session so that can go over this bad behavior. I wonder if you can impeach a council member or least have them censored.

I dunno... A closed session wouldn't allow the public to hear how the council responds to DC's behavior. Keep it open and public. Also, I think you're wanting to "censure" DC... then again... maybe censored is better.
I didn't see anything on the other web site that D. Barnes had much to say at the last TC meeting. Omission or was she just that quiet?

mstone,
D Barnes is just quiet sometimes, but you had better believe that you will hear her when she speaks. Gotta love her.
I think there has just been too much to talk about on TOS (the other site) and some of the normal things have fallen thru the cracks.

| You are right DC should have to explain to the public why he did what he did. That closed session comment was a slip of the keyboard.

La dee da... <Cracker, out for a stroll on the web, notices a lot of activity on the SFTC forum and stops in to check things out>
Hey ya'll! What's going on today?
Nothin' spectacular?
Oh well, maybe next week..... 
<Cracker searches frantically for something worthwhile to post about. There's just gotta be something here somewhere....> Hey! maybe I can do something with this!

Here is an email that was forwarded to me. Seems that DC was calling people out.
Hairbrush, be sure to thank the person for sending that email to you and tell them to keep 'em coming! I'd hate to miss something this interesting..... Just one question... where'd he call them out to?
Hairbrush wrote: You know, you guys really tickle my funny bone....
He has a funnybone? How sweet! Wonder where he keeps it?
Hairbrush wrote: That document you're referring to over on the forum
OK! Which one of you told him we were referring to a document over here on the forum? (or "BLOG" as BS would call it....... ) Pappy assured me that none of them read this forum! (wink wink)
Hairbrush wrote: That 'unauthorized material' you all are having such a wonderful time shredding to pieces.......

Ahhhhhh a fine example of how DC will take your words and twist them to suit his agenda. Luckily, anything written on THIS forum is there for anyone to read and they can decide for themselves if that's what was said.
Hairbrush wrote:
That document you're referring to...... is an authentic piece of Summerfield history.
I have a few different renditions still on my computer. The attachment is typical
let me know if you want the others
Let me see now.... Is that document AUTHENTIC or is it the RENDITION that DC chose to share with everyone?
