"Yeah, I've been entrusted, but James Johnson is a part-time employee much like you are a part-time employee of this hobby or passion you have to make sure ElectriCities is running right -- and I commend that -- but I make a living selling life insurance," Johnson said. "We all have our own areas we're responsible for and we bring our recommendations back to the board.
"Don't jump in my mess and tell me I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing."
As the discussion started getting heated, Rose closed the meeting. (Read more)
What in the hell is James talking about? He was elected to represent the folks and if that is a damn problem he need to get the hell out of the way. This in my opinion is the wrong damn attitude because serving on a board collecting a check is not a comparison to someone's hobby or passion as he put it. It sounds as if James is about ready to retire from this council.
Oh by the way I met with Johnson a couple of years ago when he was considering running against Joe Pat Tolson NC House Rep. He asked me to meet with him because I live in the District and we had a good conversation.
Mayor closed the meeting? Yep that let's you know that he do not really want public input. And we all know he do not want to hear from Dew who challenged him in the past election. He just wants Dew to go somewhere, sit down and shut the hell up.
Dew continue to hold them accountable. I appreciate you man.

I really appreciate him. I am an employee and I work in this evil, lying place and am trying desparately to get out. We are harrassed. There is an EEOC investigation. The Board is lied to so I hoped my "official" complaints would get to Sam Noble this way since Jesse Tilton does not get them to him via the way we were ordered to do. Fred Turnage does not care one bit. He does not come half the time and is asleep the rest of the time. Jesse Tilton gave huge raises, bonuses and promotions to people who did an evil anonymous rant. He has sanctioned anonymous complaining at the highest levels but I will complain on the newspaper forums and to the activists who are trying to help us and lower their rates. Vowing to remain anonymous so I can pay my bills and get a new job.Posted by Anonymous
