Somebody Has a Problem with the Truth

I am including a copy of the Pocahontas Times written by the editor,  a person in whom I have a high degree of confidence. In her news article, she quotes the Fire Chief as saying that:  "He changed his opinion from his written opinion."

Mayor Joe Smith says in that article that the town attorney,  Steve Hunter had rendered an opinion on expansion of the town's fire fee to all of the Marlinton Fire Department's firs response area."

Jaynell says that "He [Hunter] changed his opinion from his written opinion.

This morning I went on a paper chase, talked to Joe Smith and asked for copies of Hunter's written opinion.  Joe said that there was no paper work and that it was all verbal.  Jaynell headlines her article,  "Frustration simmers on both sides of the proposed fire fee."  Could it be that Joe Smith, the major has no idea what is going on with the fire fee or that the editor of the Pocahontas Times misquoted the fire chief.  

SOUNDS LIKE A CORRECTION MAY BE DUE.

Is it any wonder that the Town of Marlinton is going to hell in a handbasket when they have leaders who can't tell the truth.  Now I don't know who is lying, but I'm betting that it is not Jaynell Graham.

Joe needs your vote tomorrow to push the town on over the ledge.
