So this says the code of ethics was signed/enacted in 12/10 -- I thought some other poster indicated a policy had been in place for several years and said that anyone could conduct a simple search on the town's website and find it ... I did search and didn't find it ... so is this document posted on the town's website? where is the ethics committee that Atkins keeps talking about? why has he not put that into place?
Censure seems appropriate in this case. However, it's also time to apply the same code to the rest of the dumbasses on the town board. Can anyone in the general public file an ethics complaint? to whom would would submit such a complaint? why don't we have the ability to recall public officials?

These documents reference the Code of Ethics. The comment said “a simple search… shows the Ethics Policy was approved in 2005”, didn't say the Ethics Policy was found.
How about a county code of ethics...BAHAAAHAHAAA! Remember when Redmond told anyone who was living together but not married that they would have to get married or move apart or lose their job? What a freaking joke. I guess going by the example set you can be married and rake around just leave it so you can deny it. right? Better to knock boots with whomever you please than to live with and be committed to one person. That would just be wrong. Redmond is such a peckerhead. Mooresville could learn a lot by his upstanding example. He is a real pillar of the community. If the mayor had followed his example this texting sexting would have never happened. BaHAAAAAAHa!
It seems like ethics are out the window anymore. President Clinton got busted and claimed that oral sex was not sex. Senator John Edwards, Governor Mark Sanford, accusations about our Sheriff to misbehavior in the Mayors office. I think that maybe ethics is an antiquated term.
