The 5 good ones that we will have on council in January are much too honorable to fire anyone just because Preston hired them. They will examine his hires and others to see what is best for our county.If the above is true, why were all the names you mentioned previously of people Joey Preston hired? You are so transparent.

Sorry Repub, I thought you actually knew this woman and wanted to get her fired. You didn't answer if we had met a few years ago in that club on 29-S late late one night. Well?
The names I mentioned are people that have been in the newspapers, tv and radio at times and all of them have raised eyebrows for some of the things they have been involved in. I actually don't know all of them personally but I know about them, and I'll bet you know about them too.

Hey, you forgot one. There's this nice lady who does dusting, cleaning and some odd jobs around the county buildings. She's been with the county for 10 years. Mr. Preston hired her.
She has to go! Too bad she has three kids she raises on her own. She walks 3 miles to work. On really cold days she treats herself to a Cat Bus ride, part of her way to and from work. Last year she got a Chamber Check at Christmas for her hard work and loyalty. She thinks Mr. Preston is a wonderful boss and a terrific Administrator. She has to go!

BS! The cleaning at the courthouse is by contract. The lady from the contactor that does clean etc during the day is married to a county employee. Please try and keep it real.
If Jeff Ricketson goes that means the Keep America Beautiful Dynasty Queen, Michele Strange will probably go too! They have a close working relationship.

Repub remembered that night and said "Why else would I have NEVER gone there since?"
I cannot believe it. I have not gone back to that club either because I knew it was your favorite hangout and I did not want to see you again. Funny how the world turns. (Private: I did have a good time)

Those that work closely together stay together. Has a good family like ring.
I'm sure many of his hires will quit. And only King Joe walks away with the cash and he will leave the peasants high and dry as he rides off into the sunset. Hi-Yo-Joe, Away We Go!

If the position is advertised, for the money and perks they/we are offering we should have some excellent NOT LOCALLY TIED TO POLITICS candidates to choose from.
It did make me chuckle that Cunnginham said his number 2 goal was to not embarrass his family. He did have the number 2 seat to watch that happen on a daily basis; thank you for the lessons Mr. Preston. LOL Ha ha ha ha ha ha

What part of"County Council cannot meddle with hiring/firing of county employees" do you cindi clones not get?
In fact, the statements being made by incoming members, as well as the allusions being made on the radio and this site about what they may have said..
are enough for a collusion lawsuit should county officials get fired without actual cause...
WHY?...
Cause its ILLEGAL folks...period. County Council members cannot get involved in personnel matters. period.

The administrator, Former King Joey Ray Preston, was hired by County Council. The administrator and the Clerk to Council are both employees of Council.

Two of the first that will go, in my opinion, will be Bill Striewing and Terry Jones of the Preston Bodyguard group. I hope Mr. Seigler that sits at the desk in the old Court House will stay. He is a good local Anderson man that is a gentleman, unlike Bill and Terry.I predict that Gina Humphries will leave early in the new year, either of her own accord or at the invitation of the new council. I think Rita is far more trustworthy for that dept. Unless Heather Jones can better explain the waste from her department and the poor showing as compared to nearby counties in bringing in new businesses, she will leave with her husband Terry and follow Preston. A full review of the so-called consultants will start with Allison Schaum, Ron Wilson's daughter. Look for her to be sent back to her pig farm in Spartanburg county. There may be more consultants to hit the road. I believe that Thomas Martin, Preston's attorney that holds hands with him at council meetings will be leaving before the first of the year and wont have to be fired. No more McNair Law Firm for the taxpayers of our county.
Others that might be reviewed will be Holt Hopkins, Taylor Jones, Brandon Grace, Michelle Strange and Kelly Nichols. Of course Kelly Nichols! I'm sure there will be others not mentioned here. The picnic table at Caters Lake will be removed and destroyed.
Just my opinion based on the past couple of years observation of our county government.

None that I'm aware of. Why should good employees be intimidated and discouraged. Our County employees do a great job.

A post, from November, makes it clear that some of us understand which direction we were headed five months ago.
The employees being targeted should be wary of what is on the horizon.
