(Investigator) Lester Bowman and I went over to the police academy in Bristol today. I wanted to make sure we would not lose any grant money because of losing the officers, or because of problems with paperwork being behind. |
Bradley Williams turned in his resignation. (Town Attorney) Mike Abbott is working on a contract with Sheriff Ronnie Oakes to get deputies to run patrols for us. |
Cooper high-tailed it out of there. He concluded the meeting and he was gone. |
I don't think anybody really realized how big a problem this could be. |
I learned the town had not signed a contract with the auditor, and it's very important that we do, and that we get started on the audit. I'm not 100 percent sure what happened there, but (part-time Town Clerk) Josie (Ellis) has been preparing the information for the auditor, so we can get that information ready to work on, probably after Brian finishes the corporate tax season, in March. |
Tim Carson understands that both Fayette and Westmoreland counties are in need of good-paying jobs that will keep our young people here. He knows that jobs and health care are not issues that end at the county line. We all share the burden of creating economic opportunity, and we need a leader like Tim, who understands this and who has the experience to fight for us. |
We've been waiting for this day and I think everyone's been rehearsing for weeks. Now it's just a matter of who does what once the new cars arrive. |
