JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

More on Goosepond Colony (GPC)




At the last GPC Board meeting Mr Parker Edmiston was present at that board meeting. Mr. Edmiston stated he was representing one or more clients concerning non-payment of wages. In todays Daily Sentinel, Mr. Edmiston has an ad listing, over the comic strips, requesting witnesses for "off the clock" workers of the Goosepond Colony Municipal Corporation.


I have also confirmed through 3 seperate sources that a severence pay package has been authorized for payment to Mr. Chandler. Mr. Chandler resigned on Nov 30th, he was the Manager of GPC. This severence pay package has not been discussed at any open meeting of GPC. It is a violation of Alabama's Open Meeting Laws for decisions of the board to be made in an executive session or outside of the open meeting.

Wish you would take a ride through the GPC Campground and have a look around. Appears Whitaker Lake residents (which is being closed) are moving in by leaps and bounds. Don't look good to me. I Spent 9 months there this year and enjoyed it very much. Not sure I can return with the mess that's moving in.

Also attended numerous GPC Board meetings there this past summer and it was amazing to me how one department head practically dictated the vote of Board Members by a simple not of the head indicating a "yes" or "no". Incidently the board voted accordingly.

Am enjoying your blog. Also glad to see you back on al.com.
