This Monday evening our County Commissioners are having their, usually very entertaining, public get together again. It promises to be a doozy.
One thing the Commissioners will consider is a resolution to "censure" their fellow Commissioner Coy Privette.
I'm sure I don't need to repeat the whole Coy Privette saga, which started with him hiring a prostitute 6 times. There are plenty of posts on here that will tell you the whole story in detail.
"Censuring" Privette is basically the same as publicly reprimanding him. It's like giving him a slap on the hand, without any legal effect.
It is pretty much the only action Commissioners can take since there is no legal way to remove another Commissioner from the board for being convicted of a misdemeanor, which "aiding and abetting prostitution" 6 times is considered to be.
Some highlights of the proposed censure resolution are:Mr Privette's conduct in this matter is unacceptable for a County Commissioner of Cabarrus County, demeans the office of County Commissioner, and disrespects the laws of the land which he swore to uphold.
Ouch!
...violated the trust of the people of Cabarrus County.
Future generations must know that such behavior is not only unacceptable but also impinges on the integrity trust and respect of the Board of County Commissioners.
The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners does hereby censure Coy Clarence Privette County Commissioner of Cabarrus County and does condemn his wrongful conduct in the strongest terms.
The Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners recognizes the historic gravity of this resolution and trusts and urges that future Cabarrus County Boards of Commissioners will recognize the importance of allowing this statement of censure and condemnation to remain intact for all time.
Mr. Privette has already announced that if his fellow Commissioners censure him, he "will have a lot to say", so this meeting promises to be very entertaining.
Keep also in mind that Privette announced 2 months ago that he was resigning, if he got to handpick his successor and if his house got sold. Problem is, until today, there has never been a "for sale" sign posted on His lawn and the Cabarrus GOP refuses to look for a successor until Privette leaves his post.
Trust me folks, Coy isn't going anywhere for quite some time and until he does these Commissioner meetings are some of the best entertainment you can watch on TV.
