With all the news lately of the arrests and embarrassing behavior of elected officials, it's refreshing to report a nice, positive story about the retirement of Dick Jones. After many years of outstanding service at various positions of City and County government Mr. Jones has decided to step aside.While some of the whacko conspiracy theorists like NHBSM (Not Honest But Simple Mike) believe it is a political move to allow the appointment of Lincoln Crum to Mr.Jones' Recorder position thus giving Mr. Crum an advantage in the fall election. The BatBlog believes whatever Mr. Jones' reasoning for stepping aside he deserves a profound thank you and appreciation from Jeffersonville and Clark Co. residents for his years of service serving the communities.
Mr. Jones has been the epitome of good behavior and character that we expect but rarely receive from our elected , public officials. Whatever he decides to do in the future...The BatBlog says "Thank You" and "Good Luck" to a true Public Servant....Dick Jones
Don't know why Jones stepped down so close to the end of his term but if it was to appoint Crum another one of the Democrats dirty tricks.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard anyone say anything bad about Dick Jones which is rare in local politics...even rarer is he has never done anything to damage his reputation or his party's which is even rarer...
ReplyDeleteGetting Crum appointed won't get him elected which I have no problem with since he is the Dem. candidate...
Whoever replaces Dick has huge shoes to fill...like Anon. said professional and a gentleman two more qualities which are rare around local politics.
