This is a memo from Mr. Rackley lobbying to stay on the EDC Board. It was sent out today from Mr. Rackley's office. As most people may know by now, Mr. Rackley's term on the EDC expires on 30 June 2013. For eight years he has been on the EDC serving the last four as Chairman supervising the person who originally appointed him to the EDC. According to the memo Mr. Rackley seeks another four year term and in all likelihood would be the Chairman once again if re-appointed.
When Mr. Rackley's was nominated at this weeks City Council Meeting the Mayor very wisely tabled the motioned with more discussion and decisions to be made later. Mr. Rackley has now sent out this memo seeking the Mayor and City Council be contacted to support his reappointed to the EDC.
Some questions that I have are when will Mr. Rackley answer the questions already asked about unusual financial dealings of the EDC? Has Mr. Rackley decided that he should make the EDC his permanent possession, I thought that Mr. Speer had the lock on that?
In the eight years that Mr. Rackley has been on the EDC what exactly has the county and city received in return for the unknown amount of money they have spent?
I urge all citizens to contact the Mayor and let him know that eight years is enough. That the EDC needs members that are more approachable by the community and responsive to the taxpayers. I urge all citizens to very politely urge Mayor Ford to not reappoint Mr. Rackley or anyone else to a third term on the EDC.
This will be the only way to ever get a qualified professional business recruiter for Giles County and its Cities.
