Sounds like bull crap to me. Here's an upstanding citizen trying to do good things for our community (Hot Dog Festival, bringing in money for the downtown flower pots, Christmas Decorations etc.)and you have to get on here and slam her. I would be ashamed. What has she done to you...did you work for her and get fired because of your crappy attitude???? It's really too bad that anyone in this town that tries to do good gets thrown under the bus by a bunch of Franktuckians that prefer to sit on their fat asses behind a computer and bitch about it.

From what I've heard, you should speak to the guy who's mentioned in the act of goodwill backfiring. He's had some other backfiring on him from the aforementioned woman

So are you saying the guy in the article is a "hillbilly hypocrite"?
Thumbs up Anonymous Proxy	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #14 Mar 7, 2013 At least this guy has the balls to say that he was snookered and to do something about it. Most people are so embarrassed about being taken advantage of that they wouldn't say a damn thing. Hope he wises up and starts looking deeper at his friends and the congregation if they come asking for something. Gives new meaning to "nice guys finish last" doesn't it?!?
