| Okay, Gene, enough is enough. Go buy some cheese for that whine. You have done nothing but bellyache since you were mistakenly voted on council. You have tried your best to be a one man show acting as mayor and the council all by yourself. We are sick of it (and by "we" I refer to town citizens I talked with). Trying to make the mayor look bad at every opportunity, even putting items on the agenda for tonight without discussing it with anyone. Well, I hope it bites you in the butt, and you can sail off in one of your canoes pulling Smugg behind you. By the way, why wasn't the mayor at the recent ribbon cutting instead of Smugg? More of your underhanded work in cahoots with buddy Smuggy? This is all just my opinion, of course, but if anyone agrees, let's hear from you.

| Smyrnite, Wrong. You may have worked with him, but that doesn't make him an excellent TM. Just someone you would like. As far as TM, not excellent. And yes on him and his wife, personal. TM, not

| Dave Hugg does what is directed by the mayor and council. Quit your bellyaching, as your gripes are clearly of a personal nature. He's an excellent Town manager, HE can't help it if the council votes for certain things. I have worked with him and found him to be a consummate professional.

| This was an old letter, correct? I get the impression that you are also no fan of Mr. Smugg's. Are you D. Pleasanton?

Smyrna committee appointments are made by the mayor
By David C. Pleasanton, Smyrna
Smyrna/Clayton Sun-Times
Wed Jun 11, 2008, 02:02 PM EDT
Story Tools:  [url=mailto subject=Smyrna committee appointments are made by the mayor&body=http://www.scsuntimes.com/opinions/x1517283083]Email This [/url]|  Print This
Smyrna, Del. -
The letter from former Councilman Doug Chervenak which appeared on these pages on May 28 appears to be all-too-typical of the mindset that has permeated Smyrna town government for some time. Dr. Chervenak is upset that he was removed from committee membership to which he obviously feels “entitled.” He believes that he has “…regularly demonstrated (his) commitment to help Smyrna…” and accuses Mayor Stombaugh of being “capricious.”
Even with all of the good doctor’s education, perhaps he should take a course in remedial “English Comprehension.” His own letter actually quotes why he should have been removed! He specifically says that he “…was nominated by a motion…” and then continues by quoting the provision of the Town Charter, which makes such a method of nomination as being illegal because it is the “…duty of the Mayor…to appoint committees, subject to council confirmation.”
Obviously Dr. Chervenak was not appointed by the Mayor, as is required, and the “…nominated by a motion…” should have been dismissed as being “out of order.” By town law, he cannot serve on a committee unless he is appointed by the Mayor and that appointment is confirmed by the rest of the Town Council. Mayor Stombaugh was absolutely correct in following the dictates of the Town Charter and removing him from committee membership.
For much too long, other members of town government have violated the provisions of the Town Code with apparent impunity. Portions of the Zoning Ordinance have been – and continue to be – broken almost at-will by David Hugg, Janet Vinc, Grant Prichard and others in positions which by law are required to enforce the Code.
Smyrna’s laws, like all laws, are in place to ensure that everyone “plays by the same rules” and that favoritism does not enter the administration of government. Those who do not recognize that laws apply to everyone even though they might feel entitled, and those who fail to enforce the laws equally for the benefit of everyone have no rightful place to positions of power and should be removed.

| SmyrnaGuy, that is a very troubled person. I sincerely hope they are not voting or reproducing.

People get sued for libel (written word) and slander (spoken word). There is no law against offering up ones opinion and it is indeed a right protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Anyone who is in a public servant capacity from the president on down to a police officer is open for scrutiny. If anyone in these positions can't take the heat then they should stay in the private sector. I've seen nothing that even comes close to the level of personal attacks let alone "bashing."

| I think that Dave Smugg's managerial skills are questionable. In light of many of his statements regarding the citizens of Smyrna in the Newspaper, I think he is tactless Does he lack compassion for these very same citizens? A lot of his statements, I think, point in that direction. Does he lack budgetary skills. It appears to me that he does. Our current economy does not support the hiring and/or creation of jobs, but he has continues to hire and create rather high paying positions anyway. However, if the person who has the so called dirt on him really has knowledge of wrongdoings that are in fact illegal they should bring it before council or take it to the AG's office for review. If they are afraid of retribution, then write a letter and include all the fact and send to each council member and cc the AG's office. To make statements such as the poster Smyrna made about him and his wife, is not quite fair. He has nothing but innuendos to defend. So, Smyrna, how about an answer. What do you know that we do not?

The Town Manager (aka Hugg) is responsible for implementing the policies (to include electric hikes) enacted by the Mayor and Council by providing day-to-day administration and operations management of the Town staff.  So he's the one to bash....

Of course we do its America. Its called freedom of speech. I know they dont teach you the constitution in cop school, even though thats what you swear an oath to uphold so I will. Its Amendment 1.
No one was sued for bashing they were sued for liable. If its true you can bring it to light, thats what this forum is for. It is NOT for personal attacks, which these things usually debase into.
If Huggs is not doing his job put it out there. Him saying people whine about their electric bill or whatever he said doesnt mean he is a bad town manager it means hes bad at public relations.
Information Systems are computers, servers stuff like that

The people who need to be ripped are the people who make the same stupid mistakes time and time again with no remorse...those are the ones I will be having fun with! I will be doing plenty of bashing on a gentleman who's job title is an information systems manager...whatever that means. I will also talk about the electric hikes and some other bothersome issues....so keep an eye out its going to be fun! But unless you have had direct issues with the Huggs....leave em alone.
Pot calling the kettle black? Give me a break... So it's okay to bash him but not your Huggs
