My speech to Danville City Council on 9/2/2014

As promised, here’s the speech that I made to City Council during the public comment section on Tuesday, September 2nd. Two members of city council met and discussed business with two members of the school board in a way that the public nor media had to be notified in advance. This meeting was not in violation of state law, but I felt that the spirit of the Open Meetings law was violated.

The Hospitality House – 714 N. Main St.

Located at 714 N. Main St. , this imposing stucco home commands the intersection of Worsham St. and N. Main St. on the eastern side. Located directly next to the Tot-Spot Daycare Center, this home has been the location of the Whitfield family ( think the city attorney) for many years. Originally a lot was not known about this property and some speculated that it wasn’t the original structure and replaced a much earlier one. Well guess who did a little digging – well a LOT of digging. After spending about 2 days in the Records Hall at Danville Circuit Court and talking to Clarke Whitfield I’ve been able to piece the title trail together and paint a somewhat complete record of that property.

I want you to take a look at the direct evidence of somebody posting a complete lie on Facebook about this “purge” crap. After that, take a look at the way that they try to add darkness and conspiracy.

It’s farkin’ shameful for somebody to lie like this directly and so blatantly.
