Here is the document that Greensboro, NC War Memorial Commission vice-chair and former city council woman Florence Gatten provided to all fellow commissioners in advance of their last meeting except to fellow commisioner Tony Wilkins because she did not want to see it "show up on the blogs."
The document was provided by the city in response to a public records request by this blogger. It looks to me like the letter is a response to City Council concerns about accountability and oversight of coliseum management. Why Gatten would not want the public to know of this or expect that a document provided to a public body could be kept out of public view are puzzling.

should the document say we minus notifying tony wilkins
ReplyDeleteAll of the commissioners were given the documents in advance of the meeting, according to Tony. As he explained to me, he was given a copy at the meeting and invited to go out in the hall and read it. He says he wondered why nobody else needed time to review it and that was when Gatten told him she had already given a copy to everyone else, but not to Tony because she did not want it showing up on the blogs.
ReplyDeleteThis proves the War Memorial Commission is a rubber stamp.
ReplyDeleteass kissing
ReplyDeleteThe verb form for ass kisser.
Also known as sucking up, bootlicking, bum kissing, butt kissing, toadying.
It's pretending that you think everything about someone you want something from (such as a boss) is wonderful.
If a boss ordered everyone to come to work in a pink tutu and bunny slippers and someone started praising the order as if it were the greatest thing since sliced bread, that would be ass kissing.
The extreme form of ass kissing is brown nosing: someone who kisses ass so much his nose turns brown.
