Why Has The County Executive Been Secretly Giving Tax Money To A Charity That May Not Be A Legally Authorized Charity?

Why has the County Executive been secretly funding a charity that may or may not be a legally authorized charity? 

It has been acknowledged by Mrs Vanzant that she had been giving between three and five hundred taxpayer dollars each year to a “charity” identified as “Night Out Against Crime”. 

This acknowledgement came as a complete surprise to most everyone at the County Commission Meeting on Monday. 

It was reported in that meeting that the state auditors had raised questions about the way the contributions had been made. Not once has the County Commission voted or even discussed this charity or making a contribution to it.

Under county rules no charity can be funded with tax money unless they are a legal 501c Charity and the paperwork is on file with the county. All non profits are required to apply for funds through the County Budget Committee then approved as part of the budget approved by the County Legislative Body. 

Last year the Campbellsville library, which everyone agreed was a worthy non profit was denied funding because they did not have the proper paperwork identifying them as a legal 501c non profit.  

In this same meeting it was also acknowledged that under Mrs Vanzant’s leadership the county attorney has been appointed for two year terms inspire of the county having gone through the process of getting the state legislature to pass a private act that made the appointment for a four year term.


These are only a couple of recent instances of Mrs. Vanzant ignoring the law and doing things her way, a way that has cost the county millions in lawsuits, attorney fees and financial blunders.

Melissa Greene has done a good job as chair of the Budget Committee. Le's hope she gets re-elected and chairs the same committee next year. She has the backbone to stand up for what is wrong and abide by the laws to get this thing straightened out.

I for one am tired of both local and state laws being ignored for the past twelve years. Time for change.

So 10:02 you have no problem with her secretly giving thousands of tax dollars to individuals in violation of the law?

It's the same as paying Commissioner Coleman for attending meeting they both knew she did not attend.

It's the same as paying Commissioner Harwell twice for the same hours worked.

If Mrs. Vanzant would simply follow the law there would be very few problems but with your encouragement to continue breaking the law I can see how she would continue ti think that she is above the law.

Unlike you 10:02 I want to see illegal behavior stopped; I want to see the misuse of tax money stopped; I want to see criminals held accountable for their crimes. Unlike you 10:02 I seek to see wrongdoing stopped not enabled to continue.

Why don't you explain what makes this a cheap shot, 12:53? Is it the fact of the behavior of Mrs.Vanzant herself? Or perhaps it's just because Barrett posted it? Loyalty is an admirable quality but in this case I would call it aiding and abetting. How much evidence has to be given to you before you acknowledge the truth? I hope you're not holding any kind of office.

If you want some good examples of cheap shots at the 7th District commissioners, I would suggest that you read Barrett's political ad in this week's paper. That was the sleaziest thing I have ever seen in Giles County politics. What a SNAKE! I don't see how he gets away with stuff like that. But he does, and that is astonishing.
But here's something Barrett may not have considered. His low-classed remarks will get more votes for the three he is attacking than any they might lose. Good!

9:58 And that is simply not true. Here's the reality of the entire matter. Allen Barrett wants to be a commissioner so badly that, in my opinion, he will do and say whatever it takes toward that end. But it's not going to work, because people know how he is. I am absolutely astounded that he has stooped to such a low level. Why can't he talk about his own "good points" and stop trying to tear down his opposition.

For Mr. Harwell, Mrs. Coleman, Mr. Campbell, and Mrs. Goolsby...I wish you all well in your election bids. It's just sad that you have to put up with the likes of a known troublemaker. The fact that you do not play his game of tit-for-tat speaks well of the character you have that he apparently lacks.

No 10:26 she was not allowed to do that. That is why the State Auditor put a stop to it and it was brought up at the County Commission Meeting. I believe that the reason she gave them money outside the budget all those years is because they are not a legitimate 501c non profit. When I asked about what the charity did and who served on it's board I was told that they have a cook-out. It's unknown if there is a board.

To 6:23 and his other posts.

You can certainly vote for whomever you choose, the only thing I have done on this blog and in my newspaper ad was tell the difference in my opponents and myself.

Unlike you, I believe it's more important to cast an informed vote than just vote. It's obvious from your comments that you have no desire for the voters to be informed about the record of candidates and their misdeeds. That is the very reason some of worse people keep getting elected and the county and nation keeps going down.

We have the worst president ever because people would not look at his record and past behaviors. We have candidates that can't handle their own personal finances why would anyone want them to handle tax money? Most people would not want that so you and they work to keep the information covered up and hidden. Would you knowingly, well obviously you would, put a fox in charge of the henhouse? Putting a thief in as commissioner is no different. Yes, two of them are thieves based on the fact they have taken money they were not entitled to. They didn't rob with a gun no it was more sleazy than that they rob with deceit and lies and then are protected by people like you who prefer a fantasy over the reality.
When a person has been on the commission for twenty years and can't show any accomplishments why should people continue to vote for that person.
EVERYTHING I PUT IN THAT NEWSPAPER AD WAS SOLID TRUTH. I think you know that and that's the reason you have increased your attacks with even more outrageous lies.

The main difference between me and the other candidates in the 7th District is that I am involved. In the past eight years I have attended far more committee meetings than all four combined. I have studied the TCA and know the procedures that have to be followed, I will continue to study and research and even more I will not allow projects to just lay in the dust waiting for something to happen. I can make things happen by using the law and the rules. The biggest difference is that I will keep the people informed, and seek their thoughts in town hall meetings before every Commission Meeting.
If you read the newspaper article where candidates answered questions ask why so many didn't even bother to respond. Commissioner Harwell and I spoke at the event sponsored by the Democrat Party at the high school, I have attended and spoken to every group that offered the opportunity, Mrs. Goolsby, Mrs Coleman and Mr Campbell have avoided speaking to the public completely. Mrs Goolsby's response to the question "What changes in county government would you like to see made?" Even with more than two weeks to consider that question she showed no knowledge of the current situation. With that attitude how long will it take for her to become informed.

It's important that those elected be ready to work from day one because in that very first commission meeting after the election they will have some very important decisions to make.

No it is you who is on the attack. I just happen to see through it and plead with you to stop. Talk about your own supposed "merits" and stop trying to tear down the opposition. It makes you look desperate and insecure. Oh, and by the way, I thought you and the other two were so against anyone assuming to know the thoughts and intents of another's heart. Aren't you being a bit hypocritical to suggest that it's ok with me that a fox guard the henhouse.
As for that sleazeball piece you put in the paper, I amazed that you have such audacity. And then you have the nerve to criticize Mrs. Goolsby for asking about what changes for county government. She asks a legitimate question and someone like you has the nerve to put a spin on it. Again, you ought to be ashamed of yourself, but I'm fairly certain that you have no shame when it comes to trying to get on the commission. Well, it's not going to happen, so you might as well stop the attacks. It really makes you look even worse than you are.

12:20 Do you ever bother to read the things you respond to?

Mrs Goolsby did not ask the question about the changes in county government she would like to see the question was asked of her, and her answer was "it would be presumptuous to have already formed a firm plan at this time." Well, if she doesn't have enough understanding of the county government to even have an opinion why is she running for office, to keep things as they have been for the past twelve years. Well, that is exactly why she was recruited by Mrs Vanzant to run. It has been revealed that Mrs Vanzant had lost confidence in Mrs. Coleman being re-elected and sought Mrs. Goolsby as her replacement.
If Mrs Goolsby was waiting to hear from the people in the 7th district before forming an opinion what has she done to actually hear those people?
As I stated earlier a commissioner needs to be prepared on day one because they will be making some very important decisions.

As for judging your heart, I never did that, I simply reflected on your behavior. Your words of support for stealing, lying, incompetent money management and abuse of citizens makes it very clear as to what you believe. When you knowingly support a thief then you become a part of the thievery. That is what the meaning of the word enabler is.

As for your suggestion that I would do anything to get on the commission is a judgement. There are many things I would not do and have not done. I would not lie to get on the commission or steal or inflate my involvement's or thousands of other things. As I have stated my integrity is far more important to me than any human position and my relationship with God is foremost in importance.
If I lose it will not make a big difference in my life, I can pay the wheel tax, and property tax increase. I can take care of my family in face of the abuse. The reason I am such a threat to Mrs. Vanzant and her bunch is the very fact they have nothing they can use against me to make me toe their line. If I lose I will be just find but the people of the county will continue to suffer. I love this county and have endured a lot of abuse in an effort to improve the conditions in which we the people live.
I am very proud of the things I have accomplished in my life and a person like you with your warped sense of right and wrong will never make me second guess myself. What you think of me is infinitely less important to me than what God thinks of me.

Suffice it to say that I was in somewhat of a hurry and may have overlooked what Mrs. Goolsby said. But, in quickly passing through your epistle, I was more concerned with the meatier things you had to say. Namely, your "suggestion" that she might not be competent or fit for the job. Well, understand this; she has more integrity in her little finger than you have in your entire body.
I think you are telling another lie about Mrs. Vanzant's recruiting of Mrs. Goolsby. No, she decided this on her own, and don't bother asking how I know this. So stop lying for Pete's sakes! Now, as for Mrs. Vanzant, if she tried to recruit anybody for 7th District, I believe it would be with the idea of making sure that YOU don't get elected. You see, as long as there are at least four running for 7th District and one of them is you then it's a done deal. You will come in last. And even if Mrs. Vanzant asked someone to run to make sure you lose, isn't that her prerogative? Isn't that why certain people have been recruited to run against Mrs. Vanzant? I believe it is. And Mrs. Goolsby will be ready on day one.
You say that if you lose the people of the county will continue to suffer. Who do you think you are? And what you think of me is far less important to me than what God thinks of me. That goes both ways, pal.

Sorry, but my sources wish to remain anonymous just as you do. I will however, with their permission, reveal their names the day you reveal yours.

Mrs Goolsby has made the statement more than once that she was asked to run. She has every right to run for what ever reason she chooses but I believe that the people also have a right to know.

As for your paranoia about some small group picking candidates I would say that would be the democrat and republican parties. I have nothing to do with the decisions of either nor was I in attendance when such decisions might have been made.

You can try all you want to keep the discussion away from the topic but the truth remains the truth. Mrs Vanzant violated yet another law and/or county policy by secretly giving thousands of tax dollars to an organization that never applied through the proper channels of the budget committee or the commissioners.
She also violated the law by arbitrarily appointing the county attorney for a two year term instead of four years terms.
As County Executive she is expected to know the laws and follow them. Her continual plea of I didn't know has become way over used.

So what if Shelly was asked to run? And what business is it of yours or mine who asked her? More to the point, even if Mrs. Vanzant had asked her, what's wrong with that? Lots of people are asked by those who know them. I have been asked more than once, but I would have no part of it because of people out there like you. And while those like you are very small in number, I just don't think I would have the temperament to put up with them. I'm certain that I couldn't put up with your smart mouth. Sorry if that hurts your feelings, but that's how I feel about the matter.
LOOK, you told a lie about Mrs. Goolsby, and the readers DO have a right to know where you got your evidence. You like to demand proof from others. Now's your chance to offer your proof. Could you stop attacking Mrs. Vanzant long enough to explain?
Lastly, it's not paranoia about the little group who claims to represent the Republican Party. It's a fact, and you know it. Your saying you were not in attendance when decisions were made indicts you as one who does know that group exists. And now they, like you, are supporting yet another one to run against Mrs. Vanzant. I'm convinced that you know all about this. You even supported them on that Republican Primary fiasco which cost Giles County taxpayers over twenty thousand dollars. I hope the voters of Giles County remember this when they go to the polls.
Lastly, you mentioned my attempt to keep the "discussion" away from the topic. I had to laugh. This is not discussion. It's a witch hunt against Mrs. Vanzant and your opponents in 7th District. Any discussion seems to center around my asking you and your buddies to stop the mudslinging and misrepresentations and start running a clean campaign.

Mr. Barrett,
I am 5:24 pm who asked that you provide evidence to back up a statement you posted on the blog. I did not ask you to reveal your sources. If you have the evidence to back up this statement, you could provide it without revealing your sources. Your statement would be more credible. I was hoping this would be the case. Otherwise, the statement is like most made on this blog, nothing more than hearsay. I hope you will reconsider and provide the evidence without revealing your sources. Otherwise, some readers and potential voters may consider this evidence the same as the “evidence” you had on Mr. McAlister during the last election.

As for revealing my name, you might be surprised by who I am. I have been in your company before and have relatives that are friends and supporters of yours, some that will be voting for you. I don’t live in your district so I can’t. The next time I see you, I will introduce myself again.

Good luck on your campaign. Personally, I think it would be quite interesting to see what you could actually do as a member of the commission.

We are a small county and have to work with each other after all the politicking is over. Best we elect people who show respect to one another and who can work in harmony. We have seen what partisan dividedness and partisan hatred has done in Washington. We don't need it here dividing neighbor from neighbor.

I for one, want to know the facts about the people running, not rumors. Like the earlier post about the judge candidate, Koger, whose land is in foreclosure. Those notices were in the paper. No rumor. We should know about that. I cannot vote for anyone in any office whose property is in default.

This blog should not just be about Vanzant. There are many other races that should be discussed. So WAB, please don't sound like a broken record and get back to the purpose of the blog.

Absolutely! And that is exactly what I am talking about. I don't know who you're talking about with the bankruptcy, but I would like to know before I vote. That is important to me.

I agree with you completely, 3:52. The bankruptcy fact was about Mrs. Coleman in the 7th district race and was posted on here by Barrett. He was accused of attacking the person. I don't agree. I think that is information that we, as voters, should be aware of. It seems very pertinent to me.

I'll ask you again. Exactly what lies have I been telling? I'd really like you to answer that question please.
You talk about peace and harmony. There will never be any of that in our county as long as those like you two individuals and Allen Barrett are causing so much trouble. Do you ever feel the slightest bit of shame for that? You two are the enablers of his lying and his misbehaving. And let's not forget who is behind the 7th District candidates being under fire. That individual is Allen Barrett and you two arte enabling that as well. Shame on you. Why can't at least one of the three of you talk about how his own ideas and stop trying to hurt the opposition? Could you respond to that please?
Finally, I have no idea if Mrs. Vanzant was using her money or funds set aside for discretionary spending. Instead of listening to the hate and resentment from Barrett about this matter, why not just call Mrs. Vanzant and ask her? It's as simple as that. Stop trying to make trouble.

While God is our Judge He has given us all brains to judge the behavior of those around us if we want them to lead us or control our lives. No reasonable person would choose to put a person with bad character in charge. Mrs Vanzant and Mrs Coleman and Mr Harwell may be really good people with a lot of great qualities but they each have shown some really bad behavior. There's no question they can be forgiven for that behavior but they have not proven that behavior will not be repeated and that is why I can not vote for them and find it unreasonable that others who know about the bad behavior could support them either.

You are so predictable enabler. The Bible never condemns a witness only a false witness. What you have said about me is pure false witness as you have provided absolutely no evidence or any documentation to support your false witness. You haven't even been willing or able to provide any evidence in support of the things you have said about yourself.
On the other hand Every claim I have made I have provided the evidence. I provided the sign in sheet where Mrs. Vanzant signed Mrs Coleman in for a meeting she had missed and instructed that she be paid for that meeting. I supplied the evidence that Terry Harwell was being paid with tax money twice for the same hours. I provided the evidence of Mrs. Vanzant, her own words to the County Commission, giving thousands of dollars of tax money to a questionable charity without authority.
There are many examples of Mrs Vanzant's lies that I proved, and many more underhanded dealings against citizens that I won't realist here, since it's doubtful you will read this far before making another attack comment.
As for the "lie" you claim I told about you being an enabler of wrong doing, well, you have supplied all the evidence necessary, dozens and dozens of post where you supported wrongdoing on many different levels. to prove you are an enabler of wrong doing,
Here's a simple example of your enabling. While you finally and under the burden of overwhelming evidence, admitted that Mrs. Coleman should give back the money she took that she was not entitled to, you never addressed the issue of Mrs. Vanzant having signed her in while knowing that she had not been there, then making the notation that she should and Tommy Campbell were to be $30.00 each. Was Mrs. Vanzant wrong to defraud the people in such a way? To support her in this matter means you enabler her to continue such behavior.
It's no different than when people supported the president in his illegal actions to make recess appointments while the Senate was clearly not in recess.

All this carrying on about $300 - $500 per year to a civic event pales in comparison to the tens of thousands that was wasted on the primary where only 4 people ran, including Mr. Barrett. If he really cared about wasting money, he would condemn the primary, not the $300 or so for a civic event, or $30 for a commissioner. All this mewling and caterwauling is just to distract from the big bucks that were wasted.

In addition, if you can take a bit of time off from your "mewling and caterwauling," read the earlier topics on this blog. Barrett clearly took the position that he was NOT in favor of the repub primary. Once it passed, however, he naturally took what advantage of it there was.

He can't be bothered trying to substantiate his lies 9:59, he is too busy accusing others, also with no proof. Just think of how little time he would have if he had to prove every desperate slight he directed towards others. Hell, between that and seeing his therapist, he wouldn't have any alone time at all.

No wonder the hospital money is gone.

Once again the enabler proves to be a liar. He wrote at 6:46 Friday 1 Aug " I have no personal agenda against Allen Barrett"

But on 3 Aug. at 2:02 he wrote, "You are right. I do have something personal against One Shot. I believe he is a wicked man".

So not only does he lie about a personal feeling toward Barrett he judges his heart as being a wicked man. CG the enabler has a greater power than Jesus in determining who is wicked and who isn't well at least in his own perverted mind.

Ignorance is having a lack of knowledge or information. We all have a certain amount of ignorance since no one knows everything about all things.

Stupidity is basically showing a lack of good sense or judgement.

Denial in psychological terms is a failure to acknowledge a proven truth or emotion and allow it into consciousness. It's a defensive mechanism used to avoid unacceptable truths. It's like the person who drinks two cases of beer every night but denies they have a drinking problem.

The CG enabler I believe is more intelligent than to be acting out of ignorance and is smart enough to know the truth with all the proofs that have accompanied those truths. That leaves only denial as the explanation for their continued embrace and support of bad behavior. There is no way a Christian or any ethical person would claim common stealing is acceptable. There is no way a Christian or an ethical person would say that lying for political or personal gain is acceptable. So the CG enabler in order to protect their point of view must dismiss all truth and evidence of truth and exist in a state of denial. To protect their cocoon of denial requires a dismissal of ordinary intelligence and integrity which they have done. I pity the CG enabler as they have abandoned all moral character in their effort to protect some who are clearly undeserving of such efforts.
