Thread: Anderson County sues Joey Preston

sweet-p you are so right. We all are in this together. I hope this era of division in the county ends soon. We may not always, or ever agree, but we should be able to discuss different viewpoints without the name calling and meaness shown by some on both sides. 

SweetP, $700,000 is small compared to what the old council cost the county, yet you had no problem with that.  As far as what is legal, anyone who has ever dealt with money, knows there are ways to cover illegal actions. Since the majority of Anderson doesn't vote they also are unaware of any of the old/new council  battle.

I agree with both of you. The main points of meanness left in the county is the council and the heavy handed tactics they are using. Let's get 7 new ones without a dog in the fight and start out on a path of moving Anderson forward!!! Thanks and have a nice day!!!!

You're absolutely right, NS, I won't change your mind, you won't change mine. As you said, the court will be the final arbitor of this whole mess. Let's hope we can all move on at some point. After all, we really are all in this together, no matter which side we are on.

Ms. Jones has already won the first legal battle and the drivercowards haven't changed their minds one bit. They still think is guilty of a crime. No amount of legal losses will ever change their minds. Poor pathetic people.

Scratch, I was just saying what I feel, like you said we should do.  (And your finger comment to me was far from nice, don't ya think?) -confused Hahahahaha. True.

There is one point you keep skipping over. The will of the voters. The voters made it very plain to each of the defeated councilmen what they thought of how those councilmen had been representing their wishes. They (lame duck council) knew they were doing exactly what the voters did not want. The discussion tonight is why.  -non-sequitur Specifically,  for most of the Districts it was the will of Republican Primary...

Specifically,  for most of the Districts it was the will of Republican Primary Election voters.  Most of the Republican candidates had no challengers in the General Election.  It cannot be claimed that mounting legal expenses, at the expense of public services, represents the will of the majority of Anderson County taxpayers. It looks like they are putting the Politician horse before the Sheriff & Solicitor...

RECONSIDER THE LAWSUIT AGAINST JOEY Clearly the tide has turned, leaving the four council looneys high and dry (Tom Allen got smart).  Their "get Joey" focus has to change.  Conservatives don't like wasting money.  The four love wasting money, especially if it hurts Joey.  Looking in the crystal ball, I see a countersuit coming.  I see the county (more on this later) losing their...

Non-sequitur said: "I believe most posters on this site will disagree with me. But I think this suit by council is a good thing in some ways.   It will settle the question of his contact in a court of law. It shows the pursuit of justice should not be linked to cost. And maybe, just maybe, the Preston era can be closed once and for all (no matter what the outcome)." I will agree with you, if there's a dead body, like...
