Council members show their true colors: green
Well, here we go again. The leaders of this city have finally shown their true colors, and it looks a lot like green. With foreclosures at a record pace, gasoline at $4 a gallon, food skyrocketing, property taxes going through the roof and the economy down, Robbie Perkins, Goldie Wells and T. Dianne Bellamy-Small are whining about their pay. I thought I read somewhere that all Bellamy-Small wanted to do (when she was facing a recall election) was to just serve the people. Looks like serving the people is getting just too expensive.
Meanwhile, Goldie Wells says she is embarrassed to tell others how little she makes for her “service.” The people of those districts should be embarrassed that their leaders are bellyaching about their pay. I thought the reason one wanted to become a council member was to serve the people of this city, not to see how much they could get out of it.
Do like the rest of the citizens of this city and county: Tighten up your belt and do your job!

These people KNEW what the job paid before they ran for election! They are supposed to be doing this because of a desire to serve the public. Sorry, but next election... we need to "clean house."

Very well written letter!!!!
Yes Bunny, they KNEW. They weren't drafted into the job.
As for Ms Wells being "embarrassed" about what the pay is.. hahahhaa.. what a pompus assed statement.
I suggest that she stay home and bake cupcakes and stay out of the halls of government.
Who is this Ms Wells? What is her deal? ie: who is she married to? where does she live? (yes, I'm too lazy to look it up, and I'm trying to start a burn her at the stake debate here)
