For those of you that don't

know, this deciding vote should not have occurred. Why, you might ask.

Well, regardless of what was the right decision is in this matter between

the town and the county, and regardless that the town has spent considerable

time and taxpayer money fighting the county on this issue, there was the

possibility of a conflict of interest.

You may not be aware that all

of your council people and mayor are part time and essentially unpaid

mayor should have chosen to recuse herself from the vote since she is

an employee of Fayette County.

That is not to say she placed

the right or wrong vote; it is just to say the appearance of a conflict

of interest should have caused her to take a different action in light

of the many months of highly charged and costly political positioning.

Truly there is enough about

this situation to cause it to be written about in The Citizen. Thank you,

Cal Beverly, for being willing to report the facts and question the logic.
