    Bill –

    Can he resign?

    The Town could lose it’s insurance over this abuse of power.

    What if the town employee had an accident?

    What are the Policies & Proceedures regarding the use of town employees & equipment on private business. What town employee could or would refuse a an inapproprtate request by the Mayor?

    I believe there are laws regarding “abuse of power”.

    Why do the council members appear to be writing notes and looking at each other and not paying any attention to the speaker? No matter who is speaking or what they are saying, is it not both polite and necessary to at least APPEAR to be listening?

    This story on this page with the video did not exist until after noon. There’s no way you commented on this story early this morning.

    He really must be ready to give up the Mayor’s position. He new better and we all can figure that one out! Just used to doing what he wants…..

    It’s better to ask for forgiveness than PERMISSION!

    he may be a really good man but he is an elected official and should know not to do that. The “good old boy system” is alive and kicking in Century. All a politician has to know that it is better to “beg forgiveness than ask permission.” Shame on the mayor.

    Freddie is a good man and I expect because he is a good man people will be ready to tar and feather him. I’m sure he will do what ever is right to make up for his use of the equipment and employee.
