TyroneConfidential: Tyrone’s Vacation Pay Investigation Goes to D.A.

The Tyrone Police have finished their 3 month comprehensive criminal investigation into the alleged misappropriation of public funds. The Police report has been sent to District Attorney Scott Ballard. After former Town Clerk Valerie Caldwell testified to Council last June 10 that Mayor Sheryl Lee gave her permission to pay herself and Town Manager Barry Amos $36,000 in accrued vacation pay in clear violation of the Payment Plan Ordinance, an investigation into the matter began in late July. The D.A.’s report includes an internal review of the employee payment plan and audit of other records. When the Tyrone Council refused to safeguard taxpayers’ money, the Police were brought in. The report has not yet been made public.

Mike King: Republican Redistribution?

Just how far has the party supposedly on the right slipped? An interesting article concerning the Big 3 Auto Bailout and a Republican Congressman from Michigan revealed that my party is coming apart at the seams. It appears that Rep Knollenberg, when quesioned about taxpayer concerns over the bailout, responded that the money belonged to Congress not the taxpayers.

Everybody plunders everybody.

Nobody plunders anybody.

Many of you have expressed a desire to donate money towards a gift to Wulfman. In keeping with Wulfman's wishes I would like to know if there is enough interest to get together this Saturday at the Starbucks in Fayetteville to drop off your donation and a possible group picture to send to him.

115 northpark: a better place for Goodwill

A better place for the goodwill to go is the empty spot next to hobby lobby where the flooring store was. That will kill the other thrift stores and consignment stores in fayetteville.

Hope this is of some help to some that need prescriptions that are too expensive at your local pharmacy. (Kroger, Rite Aid, CVS, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Publix or what ever)

In August, a friend of mine went to Piedmont Fayette Hospital for a routine mammogram. Because the doctor was not totally satisfied with the first picture, she returned about a week later.

Bonkers: Auto Bailout: what is best for us?

Should we protect the autoworkers unions by keeping benefits as they are?

How is the best way to do that?

Do we want to see at least two of them file for bankruptcy, not pay their bills, renegotiate new loans (as Delta did), negotiate their own wage and benefit cuts with the unions, and combine with each other in some fashion, as Delta is doing?

I went to the local grocery store - which will remain unnamed - to purchase the ingredients for today's lunch. I was sort of taken back when I seen that the frozen vegetables that I was going to purchase were grown in China.

It really depends on where you live. Good phone and internet service is based on where you're located. I suggest you ask whomever you decide to use about locale.

If we didn't give the banks billions for some of their preferred stock? It is not going to ever pay a dividend anyway to us--they will see to that. Even at the expense of not paying dividends to the common stock holders.

Listening to the County Commission last night it sounds like this road project has a real objective: to BYPASS any public comment and environmental regulation. If it has been in the works for 20 years, how come nobody I talked to ever heard of that.

sniffles5: Sandy Creek in for a battle tonight

Sandy Creek vs. Chamblee tonight is going to be a battle.

Chamblee has one of the best defenses in the state, allowing a little over 7 points a game (they have 5 shutouts). They were the preseason number 7 pick in the state, but stumbled badly this year because of their offense.
