Tyrone’s Council Exposes Clerk’s Incompetency

Responding to numerous complaints and her own observations of Town’s Clerk/Zoning Adm. Valerie Fowler’s failure to adequately perform her duties, Councilwoman Grace Caldwell questioned Valerie Fowler about her qualifications for her job at the March 20 Hearing. It was revealed that Valerie responded that she had once started a course but didn’t finish it. One observer opined that it appeared that Valerie might be qualified to run a cash register at WalMart.

Valerie Fowler’s duties at Tyrone include keeping minutes of Town hearings, communicating to Council all information conducive to government efficiency, preservation of public records, collecting revenue, keeping the checkbook and paying bills. In addition, she is responsible for dealing with businesses and making reasoned decisions on land uses for business permits.

Because of the Town’s inability to locate funds and records, a financial audit has been ordered and a financial consultant employed to examine the books. Numerous disputes and lawsuits have been filed against Valerie Fowler and the Town. And hundreds of people have signed a petition to remove Valerie Fowler.

Mayor Don Rehwaldt says he can’t find a qualified person to do the job. Will qualified persons please send the Mayor your resume. HINT, the Georgia Municipal Assoc. has access to statewide experienced governmental employees.

I would have loved to have seen Grace get a holt of Valerie. Grace is sharp and Valerie is way over due. I am dumb founded that after having to have an audit because of the condition of the books, that her butt isn't already in the road. That she is paid 68,000.00 a year is nothing short of a miracle. I went to college, retired after 34 years at the same company, and couldn't go out of the street today and get that kind of salary. In fact, there are few women in Tyrone who could, so why are we paying her something like that to do a not so stellar job?

Hey - Valerie has a potential new cronie she can latch onto now that Barry is gone. Catch up with Eric Dial, he is about your speed, telling untruths, withholding the truth and what not - Let's let Dial, Valerie and Ronnie Chance (once he loses reelection) run Tyrone from now on. That sounds like a great idea and from the way things have been going of late in Tyrone, it sounds like that is the way it will continue to be run.
