Geez, I thought I was well-informed but I recognize exactly half of these names. Who are these people? Are their resumes available to the public?

William Moxley is AKA radio guy Kelvin Moxley.

I suspect more names will be added for the interviews -- that deadline is tomorrow, I believe. -- s.

If I understood what Election Commissioner Brooks told me today, then yesterday at 3 p.m. was the resume submission deadline. Also, he said something about each commissioner getting to add two names not in the top 10, so that could mean up to 20 candidates to be considered.

I've posted a little bit of background information on each of the top 10 candidates at the following link:

(link...)

why didn't you mention your child protege Scott Frith?

Hey 'nobody',let me guess,is your name Kelvin Moxley? Who else goes on a board just to toot their own horn. Btw, it surprises me that Steve Hall and Kelvin have both ended up on this list since their original plan was to put Kelvin in one of the 5 positions on commission so that he could vote for Steve Hall. That's what Campfield made him promise, right? At least that's what his good buddy Lumpy Lambert told the papers, the news, and anyone that would listen. Matter of fact, I heard Lumpy actually drove Kelvin down to the meeting in Nashville when Bowman was selected. I don't know about you all but I've had about all I can take from the Lumpster, and Campfield and company. I'd like them to pick the person from NC that actually has experience! Imagine that! Picking someone basis on their qualifications, and not on their party afiliation, or who their family is, etc.

guy from NC's resume from google? This is the guy Commissioner Crilly listed as #1 .

Keith Long

On paper William Ailor has the greatest credentials. But if I was a betting man I would bet on Mackay. This appears to be another done deal. The decision appears to have been made in Nashville. Score another for the water carrier.

If this kind of parade had been done on Black Wednesday, we would probably know little about how corrupt local government is. For all the talk about reform, it seems all we have gotten is a political beauty pageant. At least the KNS sold some papers.

Hey, I know 5 of the "top ten" and don't know 5.

I like Greg, Scott and Kelvin. Steve Hall seems lacking in two essential job skills -- technology and communications -- although he's proven he can manage a business. Rob Huddleston can't survive his blog -- Obama as the Anti-Christ????? -- s.

9 your opinion, in my opinion ,is blue smoke & mirrors.

I am missing the huge ethical issue here.

Does anyone have any indication whatsoever that any of the five election commissioners has deliberated with each other about Greg Mackay's job outside a properly-called public meeting?

Is it someone's position that there is an ethical problem if three members of a five member commission independently decide to support the same action?

Having decided for whatever reason to accept resumes, is there some perceived ethical problem if the commissioners still decide that the best person for the job already has it?

We are told that Rob Huddleston apparently rated #1 on two GOP commissioner's lists, and #2 on the other. He apparently got averaged down by low rankings on the Dem commissioner's lists.

Some other GOP commissioner top ten rankings:

Frith 3rd, 9th, NR
Drinnen: 8th, 7th, NR
Long: 6th, 4th, 1st
White: 4th, 2nd, 4th
Mackay: 2nd, 10th, 3rd
Hall: 7th, NR, NR
Moxley: 10th, NR, NR

any ideas on why.. or how.. Scott Frith is ranked as the #2 candidate? Does anyone know what qualifications or experience he has that's made him so qualified?

LOL. Scott's employment experiences are virtually identical to Greg's when he was first appointed. -- s.
