Anderson County Council Meeting (December 02)

You'd think these bozo's would be HAPPY that they got their way, yet the bullshlit STILL goes on & on & on.  But No-o-o-o-o-o-o-o, gotta make this into yet another vendetta!    I suggest Mr.Preston line up the legal team now,  and SUE the crap outta each one of them till the coffers run dry, and continue reigning down lawsuit after lawsuit like nobody's business.   THEN, and only then, will these morons fueled by the Driver crowd shut the &$*@  up! Till then, somebody get MCW laid will ya?!?!  Jeez, our government in action.  No wonder the South lost.   

Don't bother with the Thumbs down, I'm working with the other fingers on this one.

A real classy post... NOT!

Confused, I've raised four children. At some point along the way, all four of them grew up. Obviously, that doesn't happen with all children.

For totally unmoderated chat, go to http://hankeysdamnyankeeway.lefora.com ... (There's that link for you again, Hankey.) There are limits even there, but for some reason WE are the ones with the reputation for running people off because we have a few standards. Go figure.

The goal for ATZ is to have a "lightly moderated" forum. Venomous, hostile posts of the type Wyatt is noted for make that a very difficult job - especially when we know that every time we try to issue a gentle warning (not a formal warning) to someone, members like you step in with asinine, juvenile comments.

One op, funny as a bank bailout.

JD,  as usual you have not one bit of ability to accept sarcasm for what it is , Levitiy in the face of moronicide.  Your incessant snide attacks  on posters ( even besides dear WYATT) and backhanded attempts at making yourself so much above the rest of the world show what you represent to this forum, a far right winger gestapho behind a screen saver.  I will post what I view as the" left-winger" viewpoint. If you refuse or block or remove opposing viewpoints, you should write for the CSM instead of a local citizens forum.  I respond with a minority viewpoint, nonetheless a shared viewpoint spoken by those who don't bother with this site, who don't play the games played by those with fake screen names & work for the very county they vehemently oppose ( but have no problem getting that County paycheck or benefits).  Just because these dolts accept Rick Driver and his clones as the gospel does not mean every soul here does. If this is what passes for "standards" which are acceptable, it's no wonder the numbers posting here are fewer & fewer, including myself!

 I can also make similar snide commentary about you if I choose, regarding parantage, backgrounds or social status, with the undoubted removal by  the council of Trent once you send along the JD-denial of acceptance. I have played along with your "rules. regulation and capitulated to whims you deem worthy to participate in this Anderson forum, even though this does not belong to you exclusively.  Just by looking at other responders, I am not the only one here who thinks you get carried away with your own self-worth as King of the Tippet toilet.  As far as the Hankey site, that has turned into Straight Talk redeux.  Same posters with new names, same old topics, same lack of oppositional insight.  Without creative or "unpopular" discourse, exactly what IS a debate?   OH, it's JD's viewpoint/website, my bad. The only character on THIS site with any real information has been Art Kaldas, the rest is opinion only.

JD, Last time you gave that blog site I copied it and sent it to some people I thought would enjoy seeing what some of our "community leaders" were posting. Suffice it to say, jaws dropped and they were quite unimpressed. LOL

Hmmm, They must have been reading your responses then. Cuz surely you jest if you refer to US as community "leaders"!!!!

Art,

 Suffice it to say that the out going membership were well within their rights to "orchestrate" any Lame Duck plans, just as our President does with pardons. At least it shows those 5 members can and did work well with one another, and the toxic dissenters left have done little else but create two-steps-backward with each proposal, initiative or goal.  Of course the audit will turn up dirt, but who's going to be held accountable? As far as debt, wel-l-l-l paying for a audit ain't gonna save penny one.

Art..

how is i possible that the new council could not retain the current staff? I am wondering what they are implying when they make comments that are vaguely threatening to county employees? Unless cindi has gotten the law changed, county council has no involvement in hiring and firing of employees, and to imply otherwise is borderline illegal.

Also, how is it possible that "they" can have any opinions? Surely "they" havent been talking to each other, now have "they"?

PN I believe the council has the right to eliminate departments or change a department's mission thereby changing the number of employees needed. As the old adage goes, "Where there is a will, there is a way."

PN as private citizens "they" can talk all they want to talk. They can even meet as a group. Quorum laws do not apply because they have not been sworn in yet. This is not the case with the sworn sitting council members. (Or it is not legally the case.)

But I do not believe the incoming council either vaguely or clearly threatened county employees. It seems some are trying to muddy the waters before anyone can drink.

As for re-alignment and the changing of the mission, those activities would fall to the County Administrator, not Council.

....

Defunding and eliminating departments can only happen during the budget debates, as the County is almost halfway through the 08-09 budget year.

Council can change mission or policy anytime it chooses to do so in relation to county government operations in accordance with state law. Even departments required by state law can have the size (number of personnel) and structure changed as long as it still has the ability to provide the end function the state requires. Eliminatimng a department (not required by state law) can be done at any time.

If you have a cite that states otherwise please give it.
