Grand Locust,
There is much wisdom in what you wrote.

M in Bratt,
You also have a point that bad character can undo what would otherwise be good or good character make good what might otherwise be bad.

Now, if we could just fix stupid…

David for better thinking

@Grand Locust; If it’s not a total “Lack of Character” with some of these people, What is it? If nobody points out the reprehensible way they try to do business, How will it ever get corrected? Or do you want to continue doing business as usual until the Town is completely bankrupt?

Attacking people is not going to solve the structural problems, which repeatedly cause people to look foolish and dishonest. First, the structural problem with Century is the idea that their personnel can bring economic development and their marketing will work. The economy of scale is stupid. All the nonsense this year on setting up the slush fund district for economic development is a huge structural problem that these folks keep flushing good money after bad. With what they have spent on this nonsense over the last three years could have allowed a grant to every homeowner along the 29 corridor of $1,000 for exterior painting using kids off for the summer. All economic development should be done at the county level where Century assets can be inventoried and available for marketing through the county. Using the money to improve the city rather than airline tickets. You can talk about folks character all day long, but the simple fact is that some very stupid people have set up horrible models for economic development which are structurally going to lead to the same problems over and over.

Helloooo! RULE #1 in doing business: GET IT IN WRITING
If the mayor had indeed requested approval to spend taxpayer funds for economic development travel expenses, there should–at the very least–have been an email sent to the appropriate person requesting that, and a reply with the approval.
Where do y’all get these people to run local government?
