Huh??? Where are you getting your infomation, mudcat?

I think you've had a little too much catnip.
Ben Pace is not related to Jim Pace and he was working at the City of Fairburn as a Detective long before Jim Williams was ever hired.

Are you really Steve Brown disguised as a mudcat?

Nancy is correct about the lack of a connection between Jim and Ben Pace, but someone needs to check out the other PTC connections among Fairburn employees. Former PTC employees, spouse of former PTC council person, even one of Nancy's own relatives.

What you said is true, but don't assume that every employee we've hired came from PTC or had some prior connection to Jim Williams or to me. And don’t assume that every employee from PTC who wanted to work for Fairburn was hired. Fairburn is growing and we’ve needed to hire more employees. We’ve hired who we believed to be the best applicants for the job and local government experience was one criteria that weighed heavily in the decision making process. We've also hired employees with experience in Atlanta, Dekalb, East Point, Union City, Newnan, Fulton County, Hampton, Fayetteville, Riverdale, Lagrange, etc. People in this line of work generally look for employment elsewhere when they aren’t happy with their current employer and they usually want to continue working close to home. What someone really needs to check out is why PTC has lost so many good employees, regardless of where they are working now.

It's hardly some secret or conspiracy. Here is a roll-call of ex-PTC in Fairburn:

Jim Williams
Nancy Faulkner
Harvey Stokes
Troy Besseche
Brad Williams-not related to Jim Williams
Gene Fritts-husband of Carol Fritts. This matters WHY?
Claire Rogers

Is this somehow suprising? In the era of PTC build-out, Steve Brown, and loads of cost-cutting, it makes perfect sense that a bunch of people would go to Fairburn which is growing rapidly and is increasing its budgets/pay and services. Do you want to work at a stagnated company or a growth company?

Jim and Ben Pace related? LMAO.
NUK

Nuk, you are so prickly whenever someone mentions Fairburn...oh, wait, according to your photo you are always prickly! If you have no interest in Fairburn, why did you take the time to produce a list of former PTC employees who work there? Maybe you have some secret connection you haven't revealed???

You asked why it matters about Mr. Fritts; according to Nancy, "local government experience was one criteria that weighed heavily in the decision making process". How does being a retired pilot relate to becoming a city government finance director???

What a joke to say that people left all those other cities because they were unhappy; you need to look in the mirror. Fairburn has lost some very dedicated employees for the same reason, and don't even think about saying they were not good employees. You seem to become defensive very easily. People often do when they know that others have not been treated fairly, and some are still stuck in the mire looking for a way out. It is not because they do not want to work or do not like rules, it is because of unfair treatment. The truth always surfaces eventually. Look what happened to Fayetteville's police chief; took a long time, but it finally came out in the open.
