It Takes Two to Tango. .Or So I Thought???

I'm still having some issues with getting the auditor's report I requested, but I won't give up until I get my hands on a copy of the report. I really don't know what the big problem is. The other week when Paige Johnson wrapped up the meeting with the board, she handed Stephanie a stack of bonded reports. Therefore, it shouldn't have been an issue with getting me a copy of the auditor's report since you had at least seven bound copies at your fingertips. I started thinking about the things that are taking place at city hall and I was getting concerned about Sue. I wondered how all the things taking place were affecting her. Then I realized that Sue is not the one causing the friction at city hall. . her boss is. When push comes to shove, Sue has the assurance that everything move she made was instructed by the city clerk. There has been talk of money missing from the office, employees insurance being cancelled and a litany of other accusations, but when looking at the big picture, I realized that Sue's hands are clean. When this board reappointed workers at city hall, they instructed Sue to get some additional training. It's not Sue's fault that they haven't sent her to get more training. Sue does not prepare payroll and Sue is not responsible for sending in insurance payments, child support payments or for calculating comp time and overtime. It has been said that Sue has received some additional overtime and comp time in exchange for her silence, but again, Sue is not the one preparing payroll and people usually don't complain about receiving more money; they complain when their money is short. There's been talk about certain people getting breaks when it comes to their water bills. Again, it's not going to fall on Sue when the matter surfaces. At times, the finger pointing and name calling has gotten out of hand. I may have said some unflattering things about Sue in the past, and I would like to apologize for those statements. Since starting this blog, I have made some new friendships and ended some old ones, but throughout this process, Sue's level of professionalism has never wavered. The fact that Sue is professional and respectful is a sure sign that she has nothing to hide. Generally, people become defensive when they have something to hide.
There are some odd things taking place at city hall and sooner or later, what's done in the dark will come to light. I am almost certain that more employees, other than Cassandra Fortenberry and Harry Wilkes, have had their insurance cancelled because of non-payment. The City of Lumberton employees need to check their insurance now because there's a chance that their insurance is cancelled as well. Danny Davis brought Harry Wilkes before the board several times for termination and they refused to terminate his employment, but when Harry became ill and found out that his insurance was cancelled, Stephanie convinced the board that Harry Wilkes violated the city's personnel policy and he was terminated. I think Rachel Jefferson said it best when she said that this board needs to "stop looking for employees that are loyal Stephanie, but need to start looking for employees that are loyal to the City of Lumberton."
