Steve Brown: Mudcat telling the truth on Direct PAC?

The remarks from poster Mudcat were brought to my attention by someone claiming to “have the truth” related to the ethics filing from the Direct PAC against me. I will address Mudcat's statements below:

Mudcat: “A complaint to the State Ethics commission is not a lawsuit, therefore cannot be frivolous nor does the subject of the ethics hearing have any recourse against the State or the person bringing the complaint.”

RESPONSE: The State Ethics Commission required Direct PAC to submit an official affidavit regarding testimony on their complaint. A Direct PAC official completed and signed the affidavit. There is recourse in the state of Georgia for lying on an affidavit.

Mudcat: “Direct PAC did not file the ethics complaint. John Dufresne as a private citizen did.”

RESPONSE: Direct PAC did, in fact, file the ethics complaint. The official state complaint form reads, “Person Bringing Complaint: Direct P.A.C.” In case you want to check for yourself, the State Ethics Commission Case Number is 2005-0102. John Dufresne, a person more susceptible to the proddings of the more gifted members of the PAC, was convinced to sign-off on the affidavit. His statement included, “I am a member of Direct P.A.C.”

Mudcat: “Comcast is very embarrassed about the affidavit. They were not told how it was going to be used and they are not willing to grant The Citizen an interview to discuss it.”

RESPONSE: Comcast was specifically told how their affidavit was going to be used. It is pretty clear what affidavits are used for. In reality, everyone was shocked that Direct PAC would file what has officially been recognized as a frivolous complaint.

Mudcat: “No one, including Steve Brown lied about anything. The facts are that he spoke out against the SPLOST and it was shown on Comcast. The complaint and Brown's defense were caused by differing opinions of the State's requirements that Brown should or should not have registered as a political action committee. He did not register and the hearing supported that view.”

RESPONSE: The State Ethics Commission ruled Direct PAC’s allegations had no merit and were dismissed. No one at the commission hearing supported Direct PAC’s views as true except their attorney, the unbelievable in this case, John B. Miller.

Anyone willing to employ these kinds of intimidation tactics to silence public comment must be up to no good. Their goal is concealing the truth.

Certain parties like the Chamber of Commerce (John B. Miller represents their PAC too), the former Peachtree City mayors and Direct PAC perpetuated the lies that led to a $34 million SPLOST shortfall for Peachtree City through their public statements, phony educational forums and actions of intimidation against those who dared to speak against them.

Save your breath Steve

Ok, Steve. Let's assume you were there

Was John Miller there?
Why do you use his middle initial?
Why do you think anybody cares about this?
Again, Direct PAC went away -John D. brought the charges against you.
Who are the Direct PAC elite or whatever you called them?
Why don't you have the courage to talk to them directly?
Do you miss being mayor?

I, for one will say congratulations you were "found innocent" Good show. Now move away. We don't like you.

So, do you like my new picture?
You are as strident and obnoxious as she is.

Mudcat, whoever you are ...

I used Miller's middle initial as printed on the state ethics complaint. John B. Miller was the only Direct PAC representative to show up, no surprise.

The Direct PAC folks do not have direct conversations; instead, they prefer arrest warrants and flippant state ethics charges. They will also throw in a little misleading propaganda every now and then.

You must care about it Mudcat, you are responding.

At least as events have unfolded, the local citizens now realize for themselves what TDK and the other issues are really about.

Well, let’s anaylze this….Mudcat contributes nothing positive or thought provoking. Her posts are always nasty and blame Steve Brown for all of the world’s problems. She suffers from incurable Schadenfreude. She sounds like she suffers from rejection. Yup--- sounds like “Bog Box”.

Steve Brown: They were a "no-show"

Submitted by Steve Brown on Mon, 04/16/2007 - 11:53am.

Unfortunately, none of the Direct PAC members had the testicular fortitude to show up at the State Ethics Commission hearing.

Again, you have to remember that the Direct PAC knew their allegations were not legitimate. Their intentions were clearly to suppress speech and cause public doubt. If the press showed up to the hearing and the PAC members looked like fools, it would further devastate their cause. It was better for them to send their attorney, the unbelievable in this case, John B. Miller.

Their development agenda is out in the open now, so people really do not have a difficult time believing the truth when they hear it.

You Mean John Dusfrene Didn't Show?

What a skulking coward. John didn't even bother to show? Where did he learn to fight? In the French National Guard?

Now we all know why he wears that Yellow Shirt.
