SOUTH HILL PAPER ARTICLE RESPONSE

Thanks South Hill Enterprise for printing my “ignored by council” letters and your post followup. At this time, I will comment on remarks made by Ms. Moran and Ms. Torres.

It was a well spent $600 for the “planning commission training” as it allowed me the information needed to head the committee in completion of the Comprehensive Plan. As stated in my resignation letter (dated and submitted on Mar. 10th) this was my goal and purpose as Chairman of the Planning Commission. That purpose has been fulfilled and at more than a $50,000 savings as noted by the Budget Committee. Congratulations to Ms. Davenport for her new appointment. I would recommend that she and everyone serving on the Planning Commission take this valuable training course. If elected, this training will also benefit my input as a council person.
