Kudos to Betty Speights
I just wanted to take a moment to say that Betty Speights is doing an excellent job at City Hall. She possess the character and professionalism that is needed to run an office effectively. In the past, whenever an African-American was employed at City Hall, their presence was not well received. It is my hope that Betty is receiving the necessary training to do her job. For some reason, I don't think this is the case. For instance, at the public meeting on Monday, May 3, 2010, there were several questions about why the water bills were late. Danny Davis, Public Works Director, stated that there was an excessive amount of leaks that caused the water bills to be sent out late. Later, I called City Hall to ask about water bills, and I was informed that the water bills were late becasue "Ms. Speights didn't enter the bills into the system."
Betty brings a fresh, respectful element to the offices at City Hall. She is doing an excellent job, and she possess a skill set that serves the City of Lumberton well. I think she has the ability to serve as the City Clerk,and some people may see her presence as a threat rather than an asset to the city. Keep doing a great job Betty, we have had too many people walk away from the table without respect. You are doing an excellent job, and we are here to support you 100%.
