Todd Paris, Candidate for Salisbury City Council
♦ The City of Salisbury promised to provide prompt responses to city council candidate requests for information. So far, I have submitted four requests for information and zero of them have been answered.
One of the items I requested included specific information about the Fibrant system being out of compliance with the National Electric Safety Code. This code has been adopted by law in NC and ensures the safety of linemen. So far, no one at the City has responded that this is not true.
In addition, I requested information on how much Maggie Blackwell and Karen Alexander have spent traveling on the city taxpayer’s dime. I have heard that they have taken “junkets” that have provided no real value to our community. The records will show if this is true.
At this point, I believe that the city will not provide the information I requested in a timely manner. In fact, I bet they will provide it, if at all, after the election because what I requested may be vey damaging to certain incumbents’ re-election.
So far, this campaign has left me with the impression that Karen Alexander and Maggie Blackwell will only tell the public what they want you to hear, and show the public only what they want you to see. Everything else stays hidden.
I challenge Maggie and Karen to be transparent and release their travel records and also confirm or deny that portions of the Fibrant System is out of compliance with the National Electric Safety Code by Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 5 pm. The public deserves to know.
Facebook friends: Do you think Maggie and Karen will be transparent or keep hiding this information?
