New Finance Director For Marshall County

According to the Marshall County Tribune, a new Director of Finance was hired and its none other than Ms. Melinda White the former Assistant Director of Finance for Giles County.

After conversations with some reliable sources it seems hiring a Director of Finance in Marshall County is as interesting as hiring some of the employees in Giles County.

 It seems they had just hired a Director of Finance but the person quit after a week. Then instead of hiring one of the two other people that had applied or opening the process to new applicants I'm told they simply relied on the CTAS representative Doug Bodary, who, according to sources lobbied heavily for Ms White. Now I don't doubt Ms. White will do a good job, she is qualified and did a good job here.

The problem seems to be that there was a little matter of some derogatory information about the other candidate sent to the hiring committee and it is suspected, by some, to have come from Ms. White herself.  Personally, I would be very surprised if the information came from Ms. White, she seems above such behavior. I would however, suspect someone at a higher level whose character has been proven to be more accustomed to such low behaviors.

Who gives a flying crap about Marshall County?

It's obvious WAB has run out of nonsense to stir up about Giles County.

WAB needs to attend some commissioner meetings or something. Or is he laying low until the City Alderman-at-Large election is over in November.

My vote is for WAB !!!!! Giles county deserves him in an elected position.


Want to discuss locally irrelevant BS. Let's discuss the the Marxist-Socialist Democrats in the current executive branch and US Senate.

Question: How do you Democrats manage to vote six times like that black woman in Ohio did during the last presidential election and get away with it. She admitted that she did it in front of the news media (who failed to to pursue the story any further). She was obviously proud that she did it when she admitted it before the cameras. The Federal Election Commission and the current federal executive branch of government obviously didn't care. She was never prosecuted, convicted of a felony,and fined or jailed as she needed to be. Her voting rights were not taken away from her. And to beat all, she was a poll worker when she committed the felony.

Don't you just love the low information enslaved person who votes Democrat?

Let's discuss something like this that really matters.

How many Democrats does it take to screw up a light bulb?

There is a big difference between news and gossip. Barrett mostly gossips and spreads rumors hoping they will stick. How many elections has that won for him? That alone tells me the public doesn't trust him. You can come back with any Barrett loving comment you like, but the truth is he starts trouble where there is none, most of the time.

Looks like the stupid are working overtime trying to understand what's over their head and fantasize about everything else.
The only thing Marshall County has to do with Giles is the newspaper ran an article about Mrs White taking a job in Marshall County. Barrett reported it apparently because it will have a big impact on our county's Financial Office. It was news for you who don't understand what news is.
Johnny Reb, a misnomer by all means decided he could tell everyone what a liar Barrett is but could not produce one specific lie he has told so he changed it to something else, remind you of anyone like CG.
On another thread someone posted the law about beer violations after they were challenged, but even that did no good because the dunce who challenged them just dismissed the law.
That's the biggest problem in Giles County, the law don't matter if it's inconvenient to those in charge but let a regular person break the law and they are ready to send them to jail.

3:05, do you ride around on the shoulder of a pirate. You keep repeating something that was never said, at least by me. I told you that rumors and gossip often times are lies. Barrett spreads both, so one would assume that he isn't afraid to tell a lie. I do know, for a 100 percent fact, that he has posted anonymously on this blog. He stated that he hasn't, so what would you call that?

Your obsession with anyone disputing Barrett tells me you are either him, or you are one messed up individual to be so deeply engrained in protecting him. You are also incredibly paranoid. This blog is meant to be a joke, so take it as one.

Now you have your opportunity to post 5 or 10 times in a row to make fun of me. Have fun!

If no one can find out who is posting anonymous, how can anyone steal someones identity, how can I get an email from myself that I didn't send.

Well, well, well, what an amazing tale the weaver of tales doth tell.
A person refers to their self as Johnny Reb and criticizes and claims I post anonymous. Obviously they do not see anything wrong with posting anonymous because obviously Johnny Reb is a nom de plume. The person claims to know 100% that I post anonymous to which I ask why would I not always post anonymous and save myself the grief of having anonymous morons call me everything they can imagine, threaten me and attack my family members who have nothing to do with this blog. Surely one as smart as Johnny Reb claims to be would be smart enough to know that if I were [posting as anonymous that I would not use my home computer but would go the library, a friends house or some other public place where I could use a computer that could not be traced back to me, so looks like ole Johnny has cobweb in his head from the web of deceit he seeks to weave and blind with.
Amazing that Johnny Reb, whom I am sure is the very image of virtue just not enough integrity to stand behind their own or borrowed words, would accuse me of lying but fails to offer one single example of a lie I have told.
I certainly would agree with Johnny Reb in that one should trust the Word of God, obviously Johnny Reb has too small a knowledge of God's Word to understand it much less trust in it. There are those on the planet that are trustworthy also, they earn trust by maintaining a history of telling the truth and I challenge anyone who reads what I write or say to look for yourself, do the research and decide if I am lying or not. I have never presented myself as infallible and have never asked anyone to believe me simply because I said it. If I haven't supplied factual evidence in support of my statements then by all means show me where I was wrong.
The problem with such people as Johhny Reb isn't that they have trouble with being lied to, they just have trouble with the truth and because they have such little experience with truth they simply can not stand it, especially when it exposes their own corruption.
Grow up Johnny or at least grow some appendages that would allow you to stand behind to boloney you are trying to peddle.

Being studied in religion and the Bible is not the same as understanding God's Word. The devil is well studied in religion but completely fails to understand God's Word.
I did not specifically state in my last post that I have never posted anonymously believing that if you failed to understand the half dozen times I have stated it before that you would not understand it now.

Now if you were to slander someone, you could be found out through the courts if they see fit. But until "you" become someone tangible, I can say anything I want about "you" and "you" can't do anything about it.
