The Facebook Mayor

When Hendersonville Mayor Jamie Clary doesn't get his way, he turns to Facebook to vent his frustration and attack fellow city leaders.

The Hendersonville Standard reports on Clary's latest outburst that may delay needed repairs to Mary's Magical Place:

While demolition work started on the playground on Monday, city leaders still need to vote to appropriate the rest of the money soon, according to Gilley.

Seven board members are needed for a quorum. When just five aldermen, including Clary, showed up for the special-called meeting on Monday, the mayor vented his frustration on Facebook.

“Some of our aldermen have reached a new low--discouraging attendance at a board meeting. Tonight we tried to hold a special board meeting, but only five board members showed up. Without a quorum, we could not address city business,” Clary wrote.

He then gave a time line of when board members were notified of the cancellation and special-called meeting.

“As of this moment, I am unsure when the board will meet to move forward with the repairs,” he added.

His post generated 300 comments in less than a day.

Clary failed to mention that a sufficient number of aldermen for a quorum would have been present for the regularly scheduled BOMA meeting, even though Clary himself could not be present.
