They direct daily activities, ANY and ALL expenditures, they decide who gets hired, who gets fired, all transfer requests, etc. they control through the 3 Commissioners they had picked; Issac Jackson, Cleotha Williams and Lanny Slaughter. These 3 commissioners have handed CMU over to Ed and Barbara Blackmon. The uncovering of these expenditures relating to their legal fees is just the tip!! They have paid MANY MANY MANY MANY personal bills that should have never been charged to the rate payers. When we at CMU have questioned putting flagrant expenses on the claims docket we are told, “don’t question the leadership, if you don’t like our decisions then go get another job”. My husband says I should keep my mouth shut and stay out of it. I’m saddened to see my hometown being destroyed by these selfish people. I pray to god that someone out there will help.

Freedom does not mean using the public’s money to pay your private bills. Does Stacey or Jim Hood even care about this? How can this be civil? These men knowingly placed their private bills on the public’s tab and paid it!!! How is that not criminal. Making this Civil is like a slap in the face to the residents in canton who are paying these bills. Civil?? Not even close, this is criminal, and if our AG feels different then he is bought and paid for too.

"The individuals who benefited" are not the real culprits in this scenario. Whoever authorized payment using public moneys...they are where the real liability rests. <br /><br />People who walk past the cookie jar all day and even enjoy a cookie or two when they're placed on the break-room table are not guilty of raiding the jar. Whoever has the key to the cookie-jar and decides it's to be used for personal gain, that's where you slap on the cuffs. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-27410941079628226602018-03-09T08:04:18.300-06:002018-03-09T08:04:18.300-06:00Who is this John Noble whose name keeps popping up...Who is this John Noble whose name keeps popping up?
