Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing." - Daniel Webster, June 1, 1837

Womack's Email Not His First Meltdown


Shook Fails To Restrain Womack
The recently discovered email is not Commissioner Jim Womack's first unethical tirade blasting county professional and legal staff--this time in a public forum--the October 10, 2011 commission meeting.  By completely ignoring established board rules of parliamentary procedure, Chair Linda Shook has allowed Womack to bully his way without restraint in Board of Commissioners meetings.  When four commissioners failed to accept Womack's unsustainable legal interpretations and followed the advice of a respected county attorney, he showed the same vengeful behavior evidenced in the email.  It is time for Chair Shook to enforce rules of procedure and make commission meetings a no bully zone. Allowing this to continue, is the only reason needed for denying  her and Womack an absolute majority of the board in this year's election. See the 2 minute video of Womack's attack at this link.
