LOUD & CLEAR

I won't post to the blog what is in my letter to the Editor of the Sussex Surry Dispatch, but I do hope you will get your copy next week and read not only my letter to the Editor but all the articles. Our local paper, its reporters and Editor are doing a great job in keep us informed as to what is happening AND what is not happening in our county.

The meeting last night was hosted by the Honorable A.G.Futrell. As with the first meeting we were welcomed and thanked for attending. We were also told that we were there to help provide input into the county's strategic plan. We were also told that this was our meeting and we ALL would be given the opportunity to say ALL we wished to say with no time or content restrictions as long as we respected each other.

We were given 2 index cards on one we put down what it was we were proud of in Sussex County NOT today but in the year 2020.

 A moving very well created "movie" was shown. If your only going to watch one of my posted videos please watch this one. I promise you it will make you think....why can't we be more like what is being portrayed?

A special person was given a special recognition. Mrs. Turner, who has probably done more for the citizens of Sussex County over the past 50+ years than any other single individual was surprised by the presentation.

 She got the last word in as she usually does. We all could take a lesson from Mrs Turner and give back into the county.

Many, many citizens in attendance spoke one after the other making it VERY CLEAR that change must happen and it is US (We The People) that have the responsibility to make this change happen. A very loud voice was heard. Could this have been the first step in our long journey to a better managed county??

We were given an update on both the I-95 Tolls and the 460 By-Pass. If you want to voice your concern there is no need to talk to your Board of Supervisors because for once they are united on this issue. YOU SHOULD CALL the Governor's office at 1-804-786-2211 or call the Federal Highway Administration at 1-800-424-9071.

EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT !

TYLER shows his lack of leadership once again!

If you were looking for the videos from the last BOS meeting please scroll down to the previous posting. We have for you a special BONUS!

Below are images of 2 letters that you should find VERY INTERESTING.

The first letter is from Rufus Tyler to the suspended Deputy County Administrator Morrison. The second letter is from the County Attorney Packer to Tyler in response to Tyler’s letter.

Rufus Tyler shows ONCE AGAIN that he feels he only has to play by HIS rules, Rufus’s Rules of Disorder. Remember this posting from a few months ago?

In complete disregard of the standards of conduct one would expect from not only a District Representative but also the Chair of the Board of Supervisors Rufus took it upon himself (himself??? maybe …. maybe not???) to inform Morrison that the will of the county government was to be ignored and he should return to “his” job.

Well THANKS for the due diligence of a very competent County Attorney that move to undermine the management of our County was derailed and Mr Morrison was informed in NO uncertain terms that Tyler was wrong.

If this is NOT an act of the misuse of the duties of a Chairman of the Board of Supervisors I truly don’t know what is!

I always thought this, but now I am sure, Tyler has what is referred to as a NAPOLEON COMPLEX which is defined as “the condition of being small in stature but aggressively ambitious and seeking absolute control”

PLEASE read the two letters and be ashamed of your Chairman of the BOS and be proud of your County Attorney. Click on the letter to enlarge it for easier reading.

Morrison is gone!

News from Sussex County !!  

George Morrison was suspended on July 20th as Sheriff Bell witnessed his departure today.



No one "wins" when someone looses their job. However with Morrison's suspension the county is at a crossroad and which path is traveled down will make a great difference to the future of the county. I truly hope that the decisions made going forward are made with only one thing in mind.....THE CITIZENS OF THE COUNTY. 


Please see earlier post for information from the Thursday, July 19th Board of Supervisor's meeting.
