Coy Willard????

I don't understand why Bernita Sims keeps "harping" on Coy Willard? It makes no sense to me. She won, Coy lost. Is she trying to rub salt into wounds, or is she just continuing her bragging about her win?
IF Bernita Sims thinks she won some kind of mandate, she couldn't be more wrong. She ONLY won because this Council did away with primaries, and because High Point allowed two people to be on the ballot that were no longer running...one was not even legal TO run for anything here in High Point.
Coy Willard is a gentleman. He has taken the high road at every ugly comment thrown at him...he has never once, to my knowledge, ever responded with anything but grace and love...something that Ms.Sims should learn from Mr. Willard.
I fear now for High Point....I think we are in for a world of hurt. NO accounting for the many tax dollars that Bernita Sims spent on her own Coletrane Festival, no re-visiting the budget, rising taxes and utility costs, and now she has taken a power grab by getting rid of much needed committees.
Bernita Sims? I caution you...you are NOT our Ruler, and you can and hopefully will be replaced at the next election. I would urge you to move carefully, and with some kind of accountability to we the voter, who PAY for everything.
