Franklin Mayor, Tom Miller (Real Estate Agent) Resigns from Planning Commission









HOW ABOUT IT? NOLENSVILLE? SOUNDS
GOOD TO US...HOW ABOUT YOU ALL?????


Our interim Mayor is also a full time real estate
agent for The Realty Group of Fred M. Smith,
agency
. Maybe Nolensville is long overdue for
a positive no conflict of interest change. Seems
Franklin's Mayor has realized his own conflict
of interest and made a change!


How high must the pressure get and how out-
rageous must the conflict get before enough
citizens demand the same from our interim
mayor?
Our interim mayor's purported close
association with Mr.Moon cannot be good for
Nolensville.
We're told W.T. Dugger is named
and entangled in the lawsuit, Mr. Moon has just
filed against Nolensville.

Your guess is as good as anyone's where our
interim mayor's interest and support is?
How
can one be sure when a real estate agent is in-
volved and very "plump"sales commissions
and/or referrals are at stake?

At this point in the town's long struggle
with Mr. Moon what good is a recusal on
our mayor's part? Seems it is too little
too late. The damage has all really taken
place?

Some suggest meetings have already taken
place between interim mayor and Mr. Moon.
So how do local citizens know for sure which
side our interim mayor represents?
Now don't start..laughing and rolling your eyes
...we gotta cut our interim mayor some slack.
At least until the oath of office is administered
and promises are in place.

Since our interim mayor hasn't been sworn in
to the office of mayor until 4/6 thurs. at 7 PM.
Maybe this ceremony will erase all past relation-
ships with high pressure developers?
Hope
springs eternal!
Maybe we could tuck into swear-
ing in oath something about not "selling out" to
home developers? Got any better ideas..lets hear
them on comments or emails?

Less than 10 hours to go until Board of Interim
Mayor and Aldermen meet tomorrow at 7 PM.
Remember in this meeting there is a whole lot
of voting going on. Right in front of you all and
God and country. Yeah even if you don't under-
stand "Robert's Rules of Order" it is a very dead
serious business...so get a grip on self and come
and pay attention. Someone making a motion
and someone else a second can "slip-slide" right
by everyone. Too late to say "what happened?"

Franklin's Mayor appears to have the right idea,
but the bad news is he couldn't resist appointing
Mr. Fred Reynolds, vice president and project
manager for Rock City Construction of Franklin.
Yeah...it is a major let down but just maybe he
can vote independently or maybe not..so sad!

Be sure to read what a famous Franklin resident
has to say about Franklin Mayor's resignation.
CLICK HERE for an insider's viewpoint..Oh My!

Mr. Miller, Mayor of Franklin said he was pleased
with the things that they accomplished while he
served on the Planning Commission. One of our
Polls on the right side of the blog says very few
readers are pleased with our Planning Commiss-
ion and their prior plans for home developers
.

BIG BOMA BLAST-OFF..THURS. 4/6 AT 7 PM!

Why does Nolensville have to make the same mistakes that Franklin has in their city government? Both cities know now the big mistake it was to elect real estate agents to public office. Worst part is how difficult it is to get rid of the real estate agents quickly before the damage is done. As a resident of Franklin we are still struggling with how to elect better representatives in our city government. My advice to Nolensville is do it now and soon while you are still small enough to know your leaders personally.
Keep on keeping on. Franklinite.

How do you get rid of the "Moon"
man as Commissioner? Do the people who vote for him know what kind of crook he is?

I think it may be time for your interim mayor to step down with this Moon Lawsuit. Since he has such close affiliations with him as a developer, how do you know his decisions won't be targeted to helping Moon. Don't be surprised when he moves for a settlement to cave into Moon's requests! Wake up you folks over in Nolensville.
