How Can the Mayor Get Rid of It...If it won't Go Away?

"God forbid if we have to have a workshop on our Code of Ethics?" So said our Mayor in a previous town hall meeting. It seems in our last town hall meeting thursday, October 6th, it would have been the right thing to do. Why? Because the new Code of Ethics presented in the meeting was
suddenly sent back to ??? for a re-write. According to the Sunday Tennessean 10/9/05 Nolensville resident Mr. Aubrey Short took issue with a part of the code that encourages aldermen to only speak well of each other. "That's not ethics. It's against free speech," Short said.
Now get this...Nolensville City Attorney Bob Notestine agreed, saying that the code should only enforce "certain types of behavior." He's dead on right...but why didn't he read the code before it was presented???? And watch for who is picked to enforce the code??? Let's hope our city leaders don't follow the state legislature that attempted to choose the panel that would enforce their code of ethics. Our good book the Bible says..."avoid the appearance of evil." A painful assignment for most politicans. Email the Mayor at Town Hall.
