SMU98... I Sent you a PM (private message - upper right corner).
Please check it.
Sorry ya'll... I KNOW that's rude and I have rules against such behavior, but I swear I am not talking about you behind your backs... I just didn't know if SMU knew what PMs were, being a newbie here and all...I swear I was just giving SMU some background he/she needs... You'll thank me one day....

If you are just arriving to this forum, please go back to page 6 and read the letter from SMU98.
I know a lot of you don't like to "catch up" but this time it's worth it!

| 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?

No, they don't have a double standard, they just have one and they apply it fairly: they're always right and everybody else is always wrong.
But let's be fair and not jump to conclusions. Maybe he has a legitimate reason to want to control the town council's email. You need to have proof of wrongdoing, like he always does, before you make any wild accusations. Now if he had a Sheriff for a husband, let's say, then that would automatically prove he was guilty of collusion. But I don't think he has a husband.

I received the statement below in an e-mail from Becky Strickland, who said I could post it in its entirety. I will also post it on the Concerned Citizens thread.
"I have a job I was elected by the citizens to do on November 8 and have had no formal training for it. It is now January 12 and I have already sat at 2 regular council meetings and at least 2 special meetings. The first Tuesday of each month I am asked to vote on crucial Town matters including re-zonings and land use involving many legal Ordinances. 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. 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. If training had been held at all anywhere in the State in December, I would have gone then. It is a necessity--not a luxury.
This month the 3-day training is in Wrightsville Beach and Rocky Mount, respectively. I chose Rocky Mount for taxpayer reasons. The costs for lodging at Wrightsville Beach are astronomical compared to Rocky Mount.
I do have family near Rocky Mount and will be combining this trip with a family visit. Therefore, I will not be asking the taxpayers for mileage reimbursement, which would be significant. Nor will I ask for meal reimbursement as I would have to eat anyway regardless of where I am. I do not think 3-nights lodging and seminar registration fees are an unreasonable Town expense under the circumstances. The Town Administrator or Clerk can give the nay-sayers the exact dollar figures. Taxes do and will continue to factor into all my decisions while a Summerfield Town Council member, as they did in this one. I simply must be formally trained to do my job as soon as possible, and Rocky Mount is the quickest and most frugal site."

It took 10 days to come up with that?
She could have just gotten on the forum herself a week ago and said it. You know, actually talk to the peasants, I mean people.
Maybe they'll teach her some humanity in Rocky Mount.
If she changes her mind and wants to go to Wrightsville Beach, I hope she knows how to get there, because I'm not very good with directions. The best I can come up with is: Keep going east till your hat floats.

Ok. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on the training thing even though you seemed to claim to know it all before you took office.
But, PLEASE!!! The humble act--I don't think so, honey!

I hope BS and DC get what they are expecting out of this training class. Having attended 2 of them I found them to be wonderfully educational in concepts and ideals but not a lot of real hands on how to's. The networking was very beneficial and it was very interesting to see how other towns are doing things but..... I didn't bring home anything that helped in the day to day running of Town Council and the town. Just an overview of things.
