In Pittsboro the mayor chairs the meetings and does not vote unless the board is shy a member and/or a member recuses himself or herself to avoid a potential conflict of interest. In those cases the mayor would vote to break a tie.

Of course, knowing Randolph, he will try to claim credit for these all.

Kind of makes you wonder what Randy Voller supporter Pittsboro Together meant in their flyer last election about Mildew Team.

As your friend Linda Felt pointed out a while ago, you REALLY don't have much to do with the accomplishments of the Pittsboro Town Board.

It pains me that Voller gets the rap for the terrible job that the board has done.  For example, the Misenheimer thing.  He was hired and fired by the board, not Voller.  And yet some people still associate him with Voller.  The mayor only gets to vote to break a tie, which has been probably no more than 1-2% of the total votes in Voller's term.

That's gonna leave a mark.

I have to be honest here, many things were set in motion under the previous Mayor, with the exception of the stimulus money for the waste water treatment plant.

[Populist]

I am curious: can any of the "nattering nabobs of negativity" tell little ol' me which items were actually done prior to the current Mayor's election in November of 2005?

Seems like you like it both ways: he is at fault for everything you dislike but gets no credit for what you do like. I read his web site and I have read his opponent's site.  Enough said.

[XMayorRV]

The town was founded, courthouse was built, some roads, some houses, post office, town hall building, water and sewer sytems..................

[whatsup]

Surprised that the town of Pittsboro even existed before Randy Voller came along. 

[Populist]

I see--more snide comments and no substance. Too bad,  I actually thought you would be serious. I guess a picture of eggs on some fella's face will appear next with the usual piling on by the usual suspects.  The only thing more predictable was the Woody Hayes offense: three yards and a cloud of dust.

Since his opponent apparently is the manager of Applebees in Sanford perhaps you could work in a "California vegetable medley" on someones face.

What is wrong with being a manager at Applebees?
