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."

Council Members Thoughts on Their #1 Priority for 2008


What do you think is the Scottsboro City Council's #1 priority for 2008? Council member Buddy Simmons reply: "There are several issues which are priorities. We must get our spending under control, oversight of the departments is important. There has been instances of fraternization between Department Heads and employees, this must end. All city employees must work and pull together, particularly in the Mayors absence. All of the city's employees and officials must be united to accomplish the peoples business." (Please note in comments below concerning the use of the word fraternization.)

Mr. Simmons stated to me that he will be running for reelection this year as the Place 2 position is up for election.

There has been some concern over the word "fraternization" in Mr. Simmons post. This has no sexual connotation. Fraternization refers to inappropriate friendships or interpersonal relationships between a supervisor and his or her employees.
