Judy J and the Headhunters (sounds like a band) had the crosshairs set on Barry due to his large salary. All we heard and read from the alliance was how much money he was paid and what a waste of taxpayer money. And now Dandy Don pays someone else even more money? Congratulations Judy, you have been awarded the 2007 "I look like a jerk now" award. I'm certain Don appreciated all of your support.

If $4000 more for a good Town manager will protect property rights and all the losses created by the old government, then its a big, big bargain. I’ll be glad to pay any of your increased taxes directly related the Manager’s salary. If you’re so worried about tax increase, they will be much more as a result of the lawsuits created by the old government. Some of you are being sued personally over claims that have no government immunity and are not covered by the insurance policy. There is no immunity for tort liability and no insurance coverage. So far, the Town’s lawyers have presented no credible defense, nor have they been successful in having any of the personal claims dismissed. The lawyers don’t have a clue as to what the real evidence is because they relied on wrong information from Barry, Sears Lee & Valerie. The lawyers are so confused that seven days after Sears was fired, they mailed the Town’s response to a summary judgment motion to Sears, because they haven’t paid enough attention to the lawsuits to know that Sears no longer represents the Town. Plus 5 months after the lawsuit was filed the lawyers have never communicated with all the Council about it. None of this is hearsay; it’s first hand knowledge and public record. One of the biggest laughs is that Barry, wanting to shirk his responsibility, got Mayor Lee to answer a lawsuit; and she denied the existence of Ordinance 454 that took away everyone’s property rights. That should be in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not”.

Paragraph 14 of the complaint states as follows: On February 19 2004 Town Council passed a Text Amendment deleting all allowable property uses “in their entirety in the C-2 Zoning District adopting New Land Use definitions and giving the Zoning Administrator (Valerie) specific legislative powers to decide what uses applied to land.

Mayor Lee’s Answer: Defendants deny the allegations contained in paragraph 14.

Barry wrote Ordinance 454, so he knows that wasn’t true, but he and Sears were content to let poor old clueless Lee tell a lie, thereby misrepresenting the truth to the lawyers, Whalen & Westbury; allowing them to set up a defense based on a lie. Since Lee answered for all Town Officials, the Judge is going to want to know how many of them participated in this lie and who they are? That’s clearly fraud by the government, a no immunity tort. The old government is gone, but still liable for damages.

we paid 95.00 an hour to Sears...and Drew Whalen was picking up $135.00 an hour from us as Sewer Attorney

now ... $135.00 plus 95.00 = $230.00 an hour

McNally @ $150.00 an hour doing both looks like kinda good.

Barney was paid $95,000.00 a year to be town manager/engineer

but he outsourced the engineering projects!

Someone said, if one checks into the sewer fund, you might find he had additional salaries collected plus general fund salary.

Yes, Chris will be our planner/town manager
Had we had her last year, she could have saved the town $58,000 just for the comprehensive plan alone. We paid JJ&G over $130,000 in planning fees for various projects in this town last year.

You want more facts/Shaquita/Geek/ethical government/ingreen, etc?
go look them up, but you know them already, you just know that others don't and you are trying to smear the new group. That's ok, we know who makes an a.. out of themselves at town hall...and it is NONE OF THE NEWLEY ELECTED OR GLORIA AND GRACE!

Once again when anyone posts a blog with facts you don't like you start with personnel attacks. If you could back up anything you post with even a shred of evidence you might gain credibility. But you did make one true statement; if Tyrone had Bill McNally as the attorney when the last Wieland project was being considered his advise would have been different that Mr. Sears; after all a one hour Town Council meeting at $95.00 per hour is only $95.00 while 200 hours defending an unwinnable lawsuit at $150.00 per hour is certainly more profitable for the attorney. Who's side are you on the citizens or the attorney's?

if we wanted you, you would have won the election. How much of an a.. do you have to make of yourself before the facts sink in?

now I know what happened to your candy butt at Delta. You just won't shut up!

Severance pay after he shafted many of the citizens of Tyrone? Are you kidding? If anything, Mr. Amos should have to pay back some of the money he earned while working as town manager as some of his actions will cost all citizens of Tyrone! Who cares how long he worked for Tyrone, this has nothing to do with this!! Severance pay is far from mandatory!!! Even if everyone else around you gets it, it in no way entitles anyone to this extra. Mr. Amos was lucky to get 11 years as it was!! Now, I’m sure he’ll really get what is his.
