"Because I Am A Giles County Commissioner I May Have A Conflict Of Interest..."
Have you ever wondered why the people who are supposed to be in charge and setting the example seem to show the least amount of concern for procedures and requirements? It's embarrassing to hear commissioners who are charged with such great responsibilities read a statement that makes absolutely no sense. I understand that this is not completely their doing since the statement is supplied by the County Executive and she should carry the majority of the blame for such irresponsibility but shouldn't commissioners examine what it is that they are reading and require that it be appropriate? Why does it seem so difficult for people to question the County Executive especially when she is so obviously wrong? Now it may seem a small matter to many but when the small things are neglected don't the larger things soon follow, "for the want of a nail a battle was lost". Perhaps that is why such things such as a non existent interlocal agreement with the city on the airport doesn't get questioned for years and years they just keep on paying and paying.
Why does it take two months for the county attorney to get an appointment with the City Manager, is he that busy, I doubt it's a problem he has as much as a problem with the time challenged County Attorney based on the record of her slowness in dealing with the by-pass/interstate development.
Here is what the county commissioners read when there is a question of a conflict of interest. "Because I am a Giles County Commissioner I may have a conflict etc." Do some automatically have a conflict because they are commissioners? That is what they are reading, "Because I am a Giles County Commissioner I may have a conflict..." The conflict is not because they are a Commissioner but because they are employees of the county or the school system or a close relative is an employee of the county or school system. It seems rather hard to believe that voting on the amount of money that goes directly or indirectly into one's pocket would not be a conflict of interest and simply saying that it isn't would carry any weight but it does seem that the least that could be done is that the appropriate words would be read in the declaration of any non conflict declarations.

Who cares? Barrett, he beat you fair and square in the election. Get over it.
Way to go cg.
I must have missed something 7:11 I thought Barrett was in the 7th district all those connected with the school system are in different districts. Only ones who read the statement Monday were commissioners in the 4,5 and 6 dist.
7:52 Have you ever heard the perfect one say anything worth reading? He thinks he knows everything, but he seems to know nothing as he never post anything about the topic of the thread.
CG has been back for a couple of days now. I thought he was to be revealed days ago or was that just an idle threat? Obviously it was.
just another example that makes us look like a bunch of backwoods hicks.
Yes, Cg with what he thinks is his perfection does make us look like a bunch of backwoods hicks.
Actually the jealous wannabes-who-never-will are the ones I hear being laughed about at the morning coffee gatherings. C'mon guys if think you can do better...and win...then put your names on the ballot. Time to put up or ...
3:31
why don't you put your name to the ballot. Your idol won the presidency, so you probably would too. lol
Bush?
No, Bush is to good to lie like you.
How many times is it you've said you are going to have to quit the blog?
Don't ever think of quitting just don't lie about it. You are too much fun.
Me quit? Are you kidding me? I never said I would. Without someone policing the truth here, some folks might get misled.
4:36 Are you trying to say you aren't the one thinks he's a Christian Gentleman?
I think policing the blog is a good thing if you will just say something about the thread instead of attacking Barrett. That's not policing.
You make your comments.
I'll make mine.
Isn't Free Speech wonderful.
No, it was most definitely not an idle statement. I had every intention of posting CG's real name and then he toned down the rhetoric. I never wanted him to stop posting, just get off the Allen Barrett Express. But even for the brief, sweet period of time when he wasn't bashing AB, y'all were still on him. I give up, man. I just wanted some place to try and work out problems, get different opinions, stuff like that. Evidently everyone doesn't want that.
8:43 What do you think about CG's post to "Tuesday, November 19, 2013
Over Two Months To Get An Appointment?"
I always thought that was him before correcting other people's post before like they were in his English class.
12:57, you didn't post a time stamp for the comments, so I'm jusst guessing which ones you refer to.
The first and third post were not made on cg's computer. He could have made them from another but they really don't even match his writing style. Hope that answered your question.
I'm juSSt guessing but can't figure out what post you are referring to as the first and third post.
Was it Wednesday, November 20, 2013 7:11:00 AM and Wednesday, November 20, 2013 7:52:00 AM. Anyone can tell that's two different people. Or was it the same person wanting to start something like cg does.
