Here and here are two articles about the fight I had to endure to give open government to the citizens of Flowery Branch.  I was amazed how my opponent, Mary Jones, would not see that the Flowery Branch Council was not transparent enough and only she knows why she continued to vote against evening meetings.  I bet she does not have a single good reason because I cannot think of one.  You can see where I attempted to have open government but was voted down 3-2 to keep meetings in the morning instead of at night.  You can read here and here this did not change until Mary Jones and the other two council members were no longer on the council did the council meeting times change.

It was a long two years, but today it is worth it.  People are able to come and be a part of their government.  The council chamber has a number of people who come to speak, listen, and learn what is going on in Flowery Branch, but since Mary Jones came off the council, I have never seen her there in the evenings.

I hope Mary Jones can answer the questions why she did not vote for evening meetings and why she has never shown up to a single meeting since being off the council?

If she meets me for a debate – I will ask her.  Time will tell!
