Good government at work
If you want to hear the unbridled "discussion" by your elected leaders when they're away from the commissioners' podium, go to Inside Scoop. We've posted an audio tape. It's a little hard to make out, what with all the raised voices and interruptions and people talking over each other, but you'll get the point.
The topic is, once again, County Tax Collector Jenks Crayton.
Update: Sue Polinsky's citizen journalism take on the meeting is here. "In a word, I now know why many good people will not run for office in Guilford County. I was terribly disappointed by the behavior of many of our County Commissioners."

I am concerned that the article was NOT on A1 instead of B1. Granted the B1 placement is top local news; but the actions (or is it hijinx) of the County Commissioners deserve A1 status. I would not be surprised if there was not a move to recall certain commissioners - especially as their actions get more exposure.

It certainly seems to be an appropriate time to bring up the bill recently filed by Rep. John Blust (HB 978) to amend the NC constitution to permit recall elections

Saw Jenks on TV last night. He looked rough...appears the stress of all this has aged him considerably. His hair was as white as his shirt. It was blonde before he left office. He looked pale as a sheet too. Terrible was stress can do to your mind and body. Hopefully, if they reinstate him, he will shore up his work ethic and management style.
