Please note that the Board of Commissioners will hold a special called meeting Thursday, June 9 at 5:00 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and possibly adopt the FY 2016-17 Proposed Budget. A closed session will be held to discuss a personnel matter.
The Board of Equalization and Review will reconvene its May 2 meeting on Thursday, June 9 at 6:00 p.m. to hear appeals from taxpayers that have made an appointment to meet with the board.
A prediction actually speculation.
At tomorrow’s closed session the county commissioners will decide which of the two recent candidates will be selected for county manager position.
A little history:
In August of 2014 the long term county manager was allowed to keep his job for an additional six months after it was revealed he had been asleep at the wheel for seven years allowing the ‘county crook’ time to embezzled $400,000. The current interim-county manager was hired in January 2015 until the commissioners could find a qualified fulltime county manager. Five or six prospective candidates were interview in the spring or 2015 for the full time county manager position. No decisions were made. Another spring came and the commissioners began the interview process anew. Rumor has it that the interim-county manager is departing after 18 months of a six month hiring.
Speculation
During tomorrow’s closed door session the commissioners will finally select the new county manager. My money is on the tall intelligent sounding well-dressed gentleman the commissioners interviewed back in April. I spoke to the gentleman as he entered the county administration building appearing a little confused as to where to go. I asked if he was there for the interview he replied he was. I pointed to the top of the stairs ending our long conversation. I did not meet the second candidate the commissioners interviewed a few days (week?) later. The tall gentleman seemed the right man for a tough job.
Tommy Haithcock of “citizens aligned to take back henderson” is quoted as saying they would have liked to see a line item in the budget for $$ to tear down the jointly city/county dilapidated structures but also said “we’re going to have to take them at their word”…….speaking of the politicians? Take them @ their word? Which words? Which side of the mouth that the words came out of? That’s the funniest thing I have read this week!!! Thanks for providing some humor on a saturday morning!!!!

As is the norm in Vance County here we have someone(bobbitt) who attends many of the city/county meetings and he has made an assumption that just b/c he spoke to 1 of the 2 candidates that the county interviewed and he was well dressed and CONFUSED as to where to go for the interview that he is the better candidate for the position. As far as being CONFUSED he would fit right in with most of the other elected officials in Vance County but to make an assumption that he should be the one for the job after carrying on small talk with him is a JOKE!!! Thought you had better sense than that Mike. Guess all those meetings you’ve been attending have taken their toll on you!

Good to see you back Decept. I was concerned/hoping you’d fallen in a well or something. Mr. Bobbit, who I do not know, is a local citizen who appears to take an interest in his community.You, on the other hand, live somewhere else and vent the frustrations of your empty, pathetic life on the citizens of Vance County. Quit using my oxygen, jerk. Quit sucking.
Of course we could meet behind George’s in Oxfotd if you can’t help yourself.
Publius….glad you got out of rehab. I see you are back to your late night rants. Didn’t I tell you to leave that Boone’s Farm alone? I gave you one chance PUNK to meet me in person almost a year ago and either you were afraid(keyboard muscles weren’t feeling well) or you are a liar. I say probably both. It’s probably best you didn’t show up b/c I would have proven you the idiot you are. Happy Hangover today!!!!
If you can think through your hangover today consider this…..the person they hire will affect you. Do you want someone hired b/c they were “confused” and “well dressed”? That description fits most of your elected officials and govt. workers in the cushy offices but does it help you as a citizen of Vance? I have relatives that still haven’t been as fortunate as me and haven’t had the opportunity to get out of there. LORD knows it’s not for lack of effort….just haven’t found the right buyer for their homes/farms. Interested buyers usually haven’t qualified but in due time they too will leave just as many,many citizens have…….the rest of you……sorry for your having to live in a county that’s ranked in the top 15 worst cities in the entire USA!!!! Facts don’t lie lil’ man…..people LIE!!!! Don’t believe it? Look in the mirror if you can clear your bloodshot eyes this morning!!!!
Enjoy your day in the glamorous city(your description)……not mine!!!!

Just saw the article about the local United Way lunch. What a deserving gentleman, Opie Frazier, that received recognition through the Sam Watkins Visionary award.
United Way has only $51,000 for grants, that is not good.
Mingo I agree Mr. Frazier is a perfect gentleman. Vance Co. needs more folks like him. As far as the $51,000 had the Dist. Atty. Office went after the folks who mismananged the Weed & Seed Project their would be lots of $$$ or equity that would have hadnto be repaid!! Where is the newspaper reporter who was on top of the scam? I bet you Mrs. Yount has the exact amount of $$ that was stolen(mosmanaged) or used for personal possessions. Either way you slice it, the $$$ was never used as it was supposed to be used according to the grant proposal. Why was not 1 single person prosecuted? Friends in high places? Has to be an answer…..however wrong it may be!!!
