What is next?

As I have watched the rusted & bent wheels of progress plod along for the past decade, I will assure you readers that the appointment of Mr. Cunningham will undoubtedly result in the next layer of discord and animosity among the power players. I can almost hear the accursed slights due to his race, or his allegience to Mr. Preston, or his lack of Administrator's skills. No matter what "change" this county realizes, there is always those who will not be satisfied that it wasn't THEM getting the job.

You are spot on Wyatt: Already this morning Rick threw out the first racial slur..... at Cunningham . Check the tape as Rick says, "what's he (Cunningham) going to do? Play the race card....? Driver and a few of his callers slur the black race jsut about everyday. They think they cover their slurs by saying stuff like, "I don't care what color a person is......"
But, it's clear to anyone with ears what they are really say'n. We all need to stand with Mr. Cunningham and give him a solid opportunity to do his job. He's a good and capable man. Of course, that didn't help Preston much. Let's hope we've learned our lesson. Kudos to Ms. Floyd for making the motion to hire Mr. Cunningham. And, let's not overlook the "NO" votes from C. Wilson and B. Waldrip. I wonder who they had in mind for the job?

I think the Gang of 5 plus 1 did Mr. Cunningham a real dis-service Tuesday. Mr. Cunningham is an honorable man and would make a great administrator. But because of Gracie and the gang blindsiding him, he will now be forever linked by many to the disgusting JP buyout. I'm afraid they have done him much more harm than good.

Than you don't know Cunningham. Watch him rise above all this and become a terrific public servant in his new role. There is/was no need for a national search when the right person is right on the staff. He is not the cause of change. But he and we will benefit from his leadership. I think the people (taxpayers) will get behind him. That should mean that Bob and Cindy will take a huge risk if they target huim like they did Preston.

I do know Mr. Cunnigham. I support him for Adminisrator. Once again you miss the entire point of a post! [image]

You know, when you can't make a clear point you tell everyone they "miss the point of a post." Please write more clearly. Pray tell, what the heck is YOUR point? If it is that, Cunningham can't free himself from Preston. I say again YOU DON"T KNOW CUNNINGHAM ! How about you start supporting him be not being among the first to tie his future to Preston. He's his own man and he's a good man.

Cunningham may be guilty by association. And by the way, joey Preston was a HORRIBLE administrator. That must have been a joke that someone said that he was good. Preston was a spendthrift and was WAY too arrogant. Cunningham has alot of baggage and may want to resign and start new somewhere else. We need a FRESH face in there!

By the way, the reason that I say that Cunningham may be guilty by association, is that he has been in there for 10 years under Preston and has to many just been a "Yes Man". He has just gone along with the flow!!!

Is Cunningham playing the race card?? Many on WAIM-AM 1230 this morning feel so. What race card statements has he made???????

I surely hope your support for Cunningham turns out better that the support you gave McAbee in his bid for re-election. Because once again it seems you have no clue.

-non-sequitur

Well, I have no clue. Now what?

What Driver said was that IF the new Council void his contract Cunningham would say it was because he is black not because the old Council failed to observe their own hiring policies, (well or any protocol that night).
