In February 2008, Jack Dunavant used his bullying style and Halifax Town Council passed a &#8220;chemical trespass&#8221; ordinance that was quickly blasted into oblivion by the Attorney General&#8217;s office. I&#8217;ve written numerous articles about the &#8220;scare tactics&#8221;, where Karen Maute &#038; The Usual Suspects say that this area will be radioactive for hundreds of years if uranium mining is approved. This time, Wacky Jack himself has gotten the members of Halifax Town Council to pass this resolution which attempts to paint Walter Coles Sr. as a man without integrity to recuse himself from any applicable vote. Walter Coles Sr. serves only on the committee that advises the commission and he&#8217;s only one of 23 members. <\/p>\n<p>This Time, Wacky Jack &#038; His Minions have gone too far (again). Walter Coles Sr. has done nothing wrong and unbiased people should be able see that easily. The members of Halifax Town Council should be ashamed of themselves for passing this resolution that was orchestrated by Jack Dunavant and should rectify this assault on a man&#8217;s character by rescinding this hatchet-job. Halifax Town Council should also stop being a rubber-stamp for anything that Jack Dunavant wants.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what side of the uranium mining issue that you&#8217;re on, you should realize that trying to impugn a man&#8217;s reputation with no cause whatsoever is totally wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: Halifax Town Councilman Tommy Reagan was not present for this vote.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stop me if you&#8217;ve heard this one before&#8230;Jack Dunavant rams a resolution down the Hailfax Town Council&#8217;s throats.
