As I read your article, Nikki, several old sayings came to mind, "When a person shows you who they are, believe them" and "Actions speak louder than words". I regretfully admit that though I don't live in Ward 1 and could not vote for him, I supported Mr. Matthews in the last election. He came to my home requesting to put a sign in my yard. He, like me, seemed extremely concerned by the out of control development taking place all over White House. I must admit, I didn't do my homework. I took the man at face value. I now realize I made a mistake. I usually am a hard person to con. It is said, "Hindsight is 2020"!! Nikki, the information you have shared makes It clear to me that Mr. Matthews possesses personality characteristics that are proving to be detrimental to his service as a public official. I pray he will realize this and change his ways. I agree with Tim Murphy on his book recommendation for Mr. Matthews!!
I feel the same way. I have had the information from his neighbor for quite sometime but just didn't know how to bring it to the people's attention. Once the library board appointment became an issue, it was much easier to tie these items together. Integrity is who you are when you think no one is looking.
Yikes! He’s going to learn quickly that If he doesn’t like the sound of loud trucks, Tennessee, or anywhere else in the south might not be for him. It’s sort of a right of passage for teenage boys to becoming men. 🤭

Maybe he could practice a little more of that, he might need those neighbors some day, or they could need him.
Sounds like the GREAT book “ HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE” by Dale Carnegie might be a great read for Sam.

Thanks again Nikki!
