Thank You Kathy Smith

Kathy Smith faces personal problems that take precedence over the political. Three members of her family have cancer and our prayers should be with her. Normally, giving up an elected office is self defeating, but not in this case.

I can't thank her enough for her role in SAVING our town from bankruptcy. Had she not stood alone (very Churchill like) our already staggering financial meltdown would have been fatal. Can you imagine what would have happened if the town manager's pick would have beaten her in the '08 election? (They deny it now, but please remember who was out and about campaigning for the town manager party that year when you pay your outrageous water bills. Those folks deserve to dwell in the political wilderness forever!)

Although she can't be replaced, and we will all miss Kathy, I hope that the commissioners will appoint someone of her calibre to finish out her term. Thank you Kathy!

Thank you Kathy! I wish there had been two of you this time last year. We wouldn't have the mess that's costing us all so much. Oh and thanks to commissioners Hunter and Glover. I'll be thinking of you two each time i pay my water bill!

The 2 remaining commissioners pick a replacement?? How in the world are they ever going to agree on someone since they are both on opposite sides of the fence?? Yet another new mess!
