Fed up with Kingsport’s good old boy club
Another “Letter to the Editor” expressing her feelings toward Mayor Phillips.
Attorney Tom Dossett is going on with the lawsuit about the historic power building. I believe his case has merit.
The people of the Church Circle churches have to walk for blocks to get to church on Sunday morning now that the parking lot is blocked by a fence. On Sunday, no matter what, the parking lot was always empty, leaving a place for churchgoers to park.
Mayor Phillips makes it clear that the move on Dossett’s part to take the case to the top for a new ruling is just adding to the bill the city is paying. Well, they are paying the bill with our tax dollars. That includes Dossett, me, and most that go to a church on Church Circle and all the people that pay high taxes in Kingsport.
I hope Phillips and the aldermen do not think they can just file a lawsuit without outrage from the people that are footing the bill. The city has an attorney that we pay regularly. The city officials seem to think they can run roughshod over the population. Because of apathy, they probably can.
The good old boy club needs to be brought to a halt. The city manager’s salary is so far above the city employees it’s actually pitiful. John Campbell’s salary is over $139,000 per year with over $800 for an auto allowance.
