SHERIFF BELL bats 1000 !

 The Sheriff suspends the special reconvened Board of Supervisors meeting earlier tonight.

It seems like the Sheriff is the only one who can get something accomplished. The special called meeting held tonight to reconvene the regular board of supervisors meeting from last Thursday night was yet another exercise in futility ending the same way, that is with the Sheriff stopping it before who knows what might have happened.

The court room was FULL of concerned citizens and they were disappointed, disillusioned, disgusted and downright mad at the inability of our current Board to conduct the business of the county. Bills are going unpaid, resolutions are going unresolved, meetings unattended, critical votes being deadlocked in a 3-3 split and while all this is going on what is NOT going on is the business of the county.

There are rumblings of recall petitions, but I am afraid that by the time this may occur the damage will already have been done and the county will find itself in a terrible situation. Opportunities lost will never be recovered.

If our current Board of Supervisors are telling the truth and they really do care about the county and those of us who live here I put forth another possible solution to the problem. It won’t be pretty but then an alcoholic or drug addict coming clean is not a pretty sight either, it is difficult but if successful it is and can be very rewarding. And if it took several thousands of dollars it would be worth it. GET COUNSELING, no not like AAA or a marriage councilor. The entire Board needs to acknowledge they have a problem, that’s the first step, and then they need to be sequestered in an undisclosed location with a specially trained mediator that can help them resolve their problems. After they have come clean then and only then will they be able to get back to doing what we elected them to do and that is run our county. This would be the best money we (the county) ever spent.

So Mr Tyler, Mr Caple, Mr Fly, Mr Stringfield, Mr Futrell and Mr Warren GET HELP before there is no helping you.


I was unable to get pictures or video clips from this meeting but I think there are plenty in my previous post to keep you entertained if not sickened. Check out the post ...
