What's that smell?

Oh! It's just Rob shoveling more shit.

Check out the Sunday News Herald for his letter to the editor.

Rob, Could you please explain how replaceing Scott Smith with Angie Blalock and the newly created position of Assistant Director held by Debbie Kincaid saved the county money?

The same question goes for replacing Steve Demiter. If I am not mistaken, he was replaced by Winston Bagley and a newly created Assistant Director position now held by Susan Jones.

And yes the Central Office can expect my requests for the compensation packages for each of the above named people

Anonymous said...

I agree totally, but no one seems to care about any of that. The Kincaid position alone was an increase of $47,000 in salary.

Rob or Tim? Who is printedvoice??? Does anyone know?

There sure were a lot of SWAT tee shirts in the crowd at last night's school board meeting. Wonder where the Norman supporters were?

When was Susan Jones hired in personnel??

Anonymous said...

a week ago, maybe two

Anonymous said...

Susan actually replaced Caroline Fisher who resigned. Apparently Licensure Specialist wasn't a big enough title so they added the Assistant Director title to it.

Anonymous said...

I imagine they added to the salary too. That's SOP now, to rename the position and increase the salary.

Anonymous said...

Ms. Taylor said the salary of the ADVERTISED position of Licensure Specialist was $47K. Jones makes $64K. So there'a another increase of $17K.

Hairfield doesn't know fiscal responsibility from his ASS!

Anonymous said...

Speaking of increases, the Child Nutrition Department has decided they need to increase breakfast and lunch prices. With the cost of everything going up, that doesn't surprise me. But what I don't understand is why that department and the lunchroom staff in the schools will continue to receive the yearly bonus they have been getting for many years now.

Anonymous said...

This just gets crazier and crazier. Susan Jones is an INEFFECTIVE LEADER! She has been passed from school to school and one administrator who wound up with her asked DB what in the world she did to get Jones dumped on her.

As for the lunch prices - bologna! This dept gets preferential treatment at the parents expense. You can get a kids meal at C-Fila for $3.50. $2 for subsidized food and a small carton of milk is ridiculous. My son is underweight for his height and has to have double entrees at each meal!

Day care rates will increase next, you just wait and see.

Just ask him.

There was no hacker. Just like there was no call from Raleigh requesting Tracy to report to an audit meeting tomorrow.

Sain (or the other RS) was sloppy while trying to cover his ass. Their lies are starting to catch up with them - just in time for the election. End of story.

Anonymous said...

Speaking of sloppy, have you read Thomas' blog this afternoon? Someone spotted Hairfield and Sherrill together going into Jim Richardson's house. They allegedly stayed for quite a while.

What's up with that? More sneaking around?

Anonymous said...

Are you the paparazzi? Who cares who is friends and where people eat? I hope after this board has been accused of financial blunders,and the old board, we can get a state and federal audit and see what happens!

There is a gentleman who works at a well known buisness in Morganton who eats at Abele's. He always sits near Rob,James,Rick and whoever they are with to pick up some of the latest of what is going on. He is too dumb to realize they throw crumbs at him to see how he will run back and spin the gossip.They know who he is and what he is doing.They laugh at the guy all of the time!
There is some people who turn around there at Tim's store to see who has a car there. These people must live shallow lives to go around worried about what these people are doing.

Anonymous said...

Tracy please stop blogging. You give youself away with your horrible grammar and sentence structure. Don't flatter yourself. Most people don't even know where dented can world is and could care less what goes on there.

Anonymous said...

Talk about shallow 6:55. Read your first three sentences. Don't you have anything better to do than feed gossip to the patrons of Abele's?

Abele's is a wonderful place for fine dining. I highly recommend taking your family there for breakfast, lunch or supper.

That's Abele's. Exit 105 just off I-40.

Anonymous said...

The "best" part about Abele's is that you have to walk through a smoke hole to get to the non-smoking section. The buffet is in the smoke hole. So your food from the hot bar tastes like carcenogens and particulate matter.

Of course Rob and his pals don't mind the smell or the stale taste. They're just glad to be breathing that good Republican air.

"Abele's is a wonderful place for fine dining."

It used to be before Hairfield and Sherrill discovered it.

Anonymous said...

Dr.Jim Richardson is an one educated,intelligent man. Doctorate degree is from Duke. He knows how to relate to students,works well with community,does not kiss morganton's ass. He is more educated than David. I guess the SWAT group is scared of someone with that caliber. There is probably a lot of well educated people who have applied for the position who is better suited for the Superintendent's job than David.

Anonymous said...

Who would these people be? Enlighten us... who would be brave enough to step up and into this pile of crap? Who will be willing to come here and face this mess, face the parents, taxpayers, teachers and administration? I am sure that educated, honest and upstanding people are queing up to be interviewed.
BULLSHIT!

Anonymous said...

Michael Jones,you may be surprised how many want the job. If David was so good,why was he reduced to being a principal? Im waiting on the answer!

I believe referring to a food bar restaurant as 'fine dining' has got to be a first.

Here's an answer. W-S Forsyth is paying him the SAME money WE paid him as a super - and he has 13K fewer students to worry about. AND he doesn't have YOUR whiney-ass voice to listen to.

He will be a superintendent again. But you will still be a pathetic cashier at the dented-can, rotten fruit store.

Anonymous said...

Any restaurant owner has the right to refuse service. As long as Frick and Frack (RH and RS) and now Richardson keep eating there, I'll take my business elsewhere.

Aulgur has no problem running off potential customers just because they don't want to buy his gas.

Oh, I forgot, his Wallbuilder friends now keep HIM up.

Did you EVER attend an English class? Your subject-verb agreement is about as good as Tracy's. Did she home-school you?

"Jim said he has no interest in any Superintendent position"

WELL, IT'S A GOOD THING HE DOESN'T.

"does not have a superintendents' license and would suffer a financial penalty if he would take any Superintendent position"

BUT IT SURE DOES APPEAR THERE HAS BEEN SOME THOUGHT PROCESS ABOUT IT.

Anonymous said...

We already have the man Slick (false lawsuits made by wife) Rick.

Anonymous said...

Hmmm,

sounds like Dr. Richardson DID have an interest, but seeing as how he would have to suffer "a financial penalty" his interest subsided.

THAT's what the meeting was about;
Money, & assuring he'd have the votes to be named super. Well, that is before the 'SWAT' team comes to the rescue.

Ms. Norman hasn't had time to blog. She's busy making up statements to include in her next round of affidavits.

Anonymous said...

QUESTION: Was Jim Richardson really interested in becoming superintendent for burke county schools? Didn't the citizens of Morganton voice their opinion of him in a recent election?

Anonymous said...

Does Ms. Norman get paid mileage for SLOWLY driving through local neighborhoods? What is she looking for?

Anonymous said...

She's looking for a place to live in the Central District. Word on the street is that she will resign her seat, Hairfield will resign his seat due to illness, and the remaining Fab 3 will appoint her to Hairfield's seat in a 3-2 vote. That way, she is assured of being on the board for two more years, and you and I can do nothing about it. She will not even need to campaign. Sound far-fetched? God, I hope this was just a bad dream!

Anonymous said...

OMG,12:59, so the pleasure of a TN defeat could be snatched from this county? Wouldn't she have to move to the central district? Wait a minute, where is she living now?

Anyone know what happened at the board meeting tonight?

Anonymous said...

yeah. they talked about bringing david burleson back to burke county. how about that?

Saul of Tarsus said...

No one did any such thing. They talked about needed supplies at WJMS, the plan to deal with Swine Flu, and the need for AD&D insurance coverage. Tonight's meeting was an exercise in civility due to the bland subject matter. TnT deliberately avoided any controversial subject matter. For once, they kept their damned mouths shut.

Please November, come before winter.

who was the sunday school superintendent that Little Timmy was laughing about.. He made himself look like a true white trash redneck... Slapping a table and continue to laugh and point at a person in an audience. Does anyone know who he was mocking?

Anonymous said...

Yes. Buff-oon was mocking Howard Baker of Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church. Mr. Baker is well- respected, smart, and intentional. Mocking Mr. Baker and slapping the table in front of him made Buff look somewhat maniacal.

Anonymous said...

When was this on the Board Video - i would like to see Buff act like the true ass he is. Cause if you watch - he is always telling Karen Sain, let it go let it go. Sain is crazy and he keeps her in control.

They should all be locked up in Broughton. Howard should file charges against Tim for assalt like Mrs. Slick Sherrill did.

That's correct. Remember how the naming of the two new high schools went? They sure did not do the "will of the people" did they?
