toxic Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Coming at 6 o'clock on Channel 7 WXYZ News: Paulding County Commissioners at odds over boondoggle. Channel 7 has learned that some Paulding County residents are unhappy with the way their tax money is being spent, so we sent our investigative team out to get to the bottom of it. We spoke first with County Administrator Mike Jones. Channel 7: Mr. Jones is it true that the County Commissioners office sent Bill Carruth on a boondoggle to Washington on the taxpayers tab? Mr. Jones: Well, I wouldn't call it a "boondoggle", exactly. We more or less sent him up there to hob-knob with all the uppity-ups up there in Washington so we could get that reservoir down here so we can go bass fishing. I don't see what all the brouhaha is all about; everybody knows that we're dumb as dirt and can't do nothing for ourselves. Channel 7: Wait a minute Mr. Jones, didn't Mr. Carruth hire you as County Administrator when he was Chairmain because he was too dumb to run the county himself? Mr. Jones: Yeah, but he's got a lot smarter since then, and I've got a lot dumber. We also spoke with Post 2 Commissioner Todd Pownall: Channel 7: Mr. Pownall, what do you think about this all expense paid trip that Mr. Carruth took to Washington? Mr. Pownall: Well, I just don't think it was a good idea to send him up there on the taxpayers tab. Channel 7: So you don't think the county should be sending private citizens on trips using county funds? Mr. Pownall: I don't have a problem with sending private citizens, I just don't think that they should have sent Bill Carruth to share his expertise with Washington. I'm pretty sure that they already know how to drink liquor and chase women up there. Commission Chairman David Austin could not be found for comment because he was hiding under Mike Jones' desk.

Wineguy Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Perhaps, much like buying a beer on Sunday, he thought that women showing their legs in public while swimming at the reservoir would cause an increase in gay marriage and domestic abuse. mrnn Link to post Share on other sites

gpatt0n Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 LR: I talked to Bill Carruth about this very subject today. He said there were something like 16 or 18 challenges in the 200_+ state-races - most of them in the legislature. What he said is he had received a letter that said that a hearing date would be set soon and that he would be informed of it. The other thing that obvious is that issues like the one that involves Carruth have been ruled on before and he says his adviser in this area told him it was a slam dunk... that existing precedent covers the arrangements made regarding his residency in District 31. The impression I got is the whole issue has been sliced and diced, investigated and considered before he even made his announcement and before he was out raising money. Not only would they be amazed if the ruling were against them (it would in their opinion break with established precedent) but they were pretty certain that Heath's folks were going to make the effort just to muddy the waters. pubby Link to post Share on other sites

LisaC Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 On the same note Paulette and her attorney both are on vacation this week so she was able to have the date of her challenge postponed until next week.

Wineguy Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Actually, I think her's was originally scheduled for next week. I have seen the original papers. Today was supposed to be the court date at 9:30 am, but due to her non refundable cruise, which she conveniently also took last time she was going to have to defend herself of various allegations in the last election, she had her attorney file to have it moved a week until advanced voting begins. This means that if she is taken off, all of the votes will be null and void up until that point. Link to post Share on other sites
feelip Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Wouldn't it be great if she could just be disqualified? Way too easy. She is like cancer. Once she gets started it will damn near have to kill us to get rid of her. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
