To Change Or Not To Change

The County Legislative Body met this morning and discussed, then voted to keep the Commission Meetings at 9AM instead of moving some of them to the requested evening time. Commissioners Reedy and Houston were absent due to injury and illness.
Commissioner Campbell led the charge against the change stating, “we tried this before and it didn’t work why try it again?”
Commissioner Harwell was next to speak, having been a supporter of changing the time of the meeting during the election I was hardly surprised when he stated, “5:30 would be harder for me than 9:00.”
The first voice of reason came from Commissioner Faulkner who made the simple statement, “we need to remember why we’re here and how we got here, and the people should be considered.”
Commissioner Pope when given the opportunity stated, “we need to keep personal agendas out of this.”

After these statements the vote was taken and ten Commissioners voted for the time change and nine voted against it. The proposal failed because it required a two thirds majority to pass.
Those voting to change the meeting were Commissioners Reece, Pope, Wilburn, Adams, Carpenter, Risner, Howell, Pollard and Faulkner.
Those voting to keep the meeting time as is was, were Commissioners Cary, Flacy, Jackson, Woodard, Holt, Brown, Campbell, Coleman and Harwell.

I agree with 7:30 the shame is on those who so publicly supported changing the time, so more citizens would be able to attend, then voted to keep the time the same. It's obvious that arrogance isn't just in the chili.
Not one commissioner who spoke in favor of keeping the time at 9AM spoke of any concerns other than the inconvenience it would cause commissioners. Every commissioner who spoke in favor of changing the time spoke in terms of what would be more beneficial to the community and its citizens.
Is the greater concern for the commissioners or for the community without question from the votes cast in this legislative meeting some commissioners are concerned only with what's best for them individually.

Is it any worse to call wab a liar for calling me an enabler of wrong than it is for him to call several elected officials the same and worse? Of course not. I have deeply resented that name he calls me, and will continue to point out that it is a lie.
As for the "big belly" comment, that was not the real issue. You know it was a suggestion of something sleazy. I believe that is why wab deleted that post.

No, the 2:41 post had a sleazy suggestion that Tommy was hanging around someone's office like some salivating dog over a hot biscuit. The inference was there. Had it been only intended as a slam against Tommy's belly, then why was the office he supposedly hangs around mentioned? Can you not see what kind of trouble that could cause both families? How would you like it if someone made a statement like that about your spouse?

I remember when it was, why was it stopped? Did the radio station change hands? Who was the county Executive when it stopped. Did the county executive at the time and Commissioners at that time want it stopped? did this new privacy act stop it or did no one want to sponsor it on the radio? How many years ago was it?
Does any other county broadcast theirs?

Just questions, not mad at anyone about it.

For all I know it could of been 50 years since it was on the radio.

There is no way to ask any question without it offending the enabler who has taken it upon him/herself to defend evil at every opportunity.
The people at the radio station say people weren't interested in the meetings, but many suspect that because the broadcast were done live Vanzant could not have the unfavorable parts edited out like she does with the TV program.

I don't see how you can say they edit the TV stuff. I attend some of those meetings when I can, and watch them on TV looking for this sort of thing, and I just don't see it. Maybe Mr. Barrett will comment on whether he thinks they edit any of it. There was an off color comment made in the last commission meeting that I hope they do edit out though as it has nothing to do with county business.

To all participants on this BLOG:

I really do come here to read the reports about our local government,and what's going on with our elected officials as it pertains to the Citizens business.
I have to say that Allen Barrett does a very good job in reporting it here. In fact, much better than the local media.
I also like to view the comments of my fellow citizens to get a feel for what their thought on these topic as well. But lately I have really tired with the one who's known as the "Enabler" of whatever, because she seems to absolutely dilute any real discussion of the issue at hand.
I've tried my best to ignore this obvious KOOK, and overlook her childish ignorance; but I find it impossible to continually deal with her constant drone against anything Allen Barrett posts.
Please Allen,Please: just dump this idiot and block her from posting, so that we can have a logical discussion about these issues. Beside; her never changing talking points makes this blog seem ridiculous to the average viewer.
Seriously get rid of her once and for all!

The writer at 10:48 (the name-caller) states that I, the one you told the lie about, have been accusing you of being a troublemaker. I honestly believe you are. He or she also stated that I said you are polluting the minds of the citizens. That's a lie.
I have never disputed what you say about issues. In fact, I have generally agreed with many of the things you have brought up. And, while I vehemently disagree with you on zoning and why Giles County suddenly needs a charter, I have never called you a name because of those disagreements. I think you know exactly what my bone of contention is with you. Having said that, I commend you for toning down the hateful rhetoric; I hope you continue to improve. You know, we are all God's children here.
One last thing. Contrary to those who call me Mrs. Harwell or some other female county worker, I'm not. I'm pretty sure the Harwells have no respect or fondness for you anymore, but that's your problem and not mine. regardless, what difference does it make who any of us are here?

Actually, those particular posts were made in an effort to get all the attacks and name-calling stopped. THAT would greatly help Giles County.

I'm not sure,but I once heard of a Doctor who travels the country in a VW van, and helps people like the enabler for free.
Does anyone recall his name? If so, can you please pass his name along in this thread, and maybe the enabler can contact him. Who knows? It could be an answer to all her prayers.

Just tryin to help where I can.

"You do realize that Mr. Harwell was provoked and that he is just as human as you and me? Think about it and stop trying to cause trouble. Thanks."

Okay. I thought about it. I also saw the video. You are a shameless liar. In the face of clear evidence, you maintain a lie. How ENABLING IS THAT?
He was not provoked,he was told by his wanna be MAYOR wife,to "take care of this".

Only a person very close to this man would dare make up a LIE like this and have the gall to post it in here: thinking that people are too stupid to understand what they watched in that video.
So little MISS ENABLER: are you going to continue to tell people not to believe their lying eyes?

Don't bother answering, cause you've exposed yourself yet again!
And nothing you can say here will disprove the evidence you've provided by your own words.

Your just so smart. HA!

There is no enabler if you refer to me. That is a troublemaking lie started by one who ought to be standing firm against the bearing of tales.
No I'm not close to Terry and Vicky, but I can see when someone is being mistreated.
Here's the deal. A few people thought they could come to this forum and say anything they wanted to about people they resent or dislike for whatever reason and expect to go unchallenged. That's your problem with those like me. I don't let you get away with it.
Issues? Do you have anything else?

Let me get away with what? Bringing attention to something that anyone with even half a brain can see for themselves, and especially when it's in live and living color: with crystal clear sound?
Sure I know the Harwell's are people too. Trouble is; they don't seem to know it, cause if they did, Terry would have not said what he did to Bob Hughs. Since when did he get so high and mighty? When he became ELECTED as a County Commissioner? And the way Vicky acted, I can just imagine how those two would have acted had she assumed the throne of Mayor. So my dear: just why are you so determined to run interference for them? What's your interest in enabling these two?
Don't tell me anymore about your precious "Christian" obligation, and don't tell me you don't know the Harwell's either. It's clear to everyone reading this, that your obviously either very close to them,if not one of them. And I bet we all have pretty good idea as to which one of em you are.
By the way; does your husband know that your posing as a man on here?

Back again I see.
First of all, I'm not enabling anyone. There is no enabler if you refer to me. That is a low-down lie started by one who ought to know better than telling lies.
Running interference? Hardly so! I just don't like to see people mistreated. And, as for Terry's behavior as a man and as a husband, he was much more calm than I would have been in that situation.
Are you by any chance in District 7? Were I a betting man, I'd bet money that you are.

Again VH your obfuscating the issues. You didn't answer the "WHY" Terry acted like a brute idiot. Instead you encouraged it and added justification for it. And in typical form, you give no reason as to why he acted a fool.
Talk about issues? But of course. YOU HAVE MADE YOURSELF AND HIM THE ISSUE SWEETHEART, by continuing to lie about the circumstances surrounding your defeat for office. We all know your reason for being here. YOU want to discredit Barrett for coming out against you in this forum during the elections, and you can't get over it or him. Say what you want and threaten all you wish,cause lady I sure as heck aint afraid of either you nor him. GOT IT?
And by the way, the "lie" told on you by someone who ought to know better, is in fact the truth: and that so called lie is the fact that you are indeed a liar and an incessant trouble maker to boot!

As for why Terry Harwell acted as he did, why don't you go ask him. I don't know, but I would have been far less calm than he was had someone insulted my wife. You can take that to the bank my friend.
Can you not see how inflammatroy all this is? Do you even know who the real troublemaker is here? I think you do.
When is it that I was supposedly defeated in a bid for office? To the best of my knowledge, I have never desired nor ran for any office whatsoever. Oh, and please enlighten me as to what threat I made? I'd really like your answer to that one.
The lie that was told on me by one who ought to know better remains as such. He knows it and so do you.
I thought you guys wanted to discuss issues? Well do you or don't you? Thus far, the onloy issue you seem to have is with me.

Exit 14, what is going on there, is it what some claim Janet didn't reply to quick enough. I haven't been by Exit 14, gas to expense to ride around. Just read something about it in one of the post the last month.
My question is one I think Janet would be to busy to be troubled with this question, so please don't tell me to go ask her. That was not a slam on Janet either.

The Enabler is VH herself. I know that this has been going on since before the Chili cook off. She's been visiting this forum since she started her run for Mayor. But she didn't start with all the slams at Barrett, until he blogged about her being a liar. That's when the trouble began, and she's been at it, posing as some goody two shoes man ever since.

I read that post and I don't see where anyone says "MRS HARWELL" is a commie lib. I do believe the person posting was referring to the one called enabler so either you are MRS HARWELL or your the one trying to inflame trouble youself.
