I am not a fictional writer; you are since your name is fiction. Ms. Moore made promises during the elections that will raise county taxes, these promises have nothing to do with state mandates. Lawsuits are nothing new to county government, they have existed for centuries. I notice you fail to mention the lawsuit between the county and the Town of NE. Council members Broomell and Dunn had nothing to do with that. The street runs both ways.That is why the courts are there to make judgements. I figure that you would be very happy to live under a dictatorship, where the King or Queen controls everything.

Yes, Ms. Moore did change parties, but now she wants to hire another attorney to defend that decision at taxpayer expense. Since it was a personnel decision she should foot the bill of any lawsuit resulting from that decision.

For your information, the CCRCC generally does not make decisions affecting the citizens except in cases of filling vacancies. Since no decision was made by the council we will never have a chance to know if that was a poor decision.

As to whether the county is in a better position, only time will tell, but it does not sound to good after reading the Whig editorial this morning concerning the lack of action by Ms. Moore on filing the council position.
