Wilson County Advocate Ricardo Dew Has Been Following ElectriCities And Holding His Local Wilson County City Government Accountable For Their Actions
Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on November 20, 2011
The following was sent to the Wilson City Council.
I want to thank you all for the job you do. I also want to thank you for taking time to read this letter. I came by this letter weeks ago and was not sure what to do with it. As I looked in to this I see that the Mayors place on the Board of Director of ElectriCities is up in December. The mayor wants Grant to take his place. That with in itself is not good . the people of Wilson need to know what is going on. With the committee that is studying ways to help us with these bills and the Mayor wants to do something that is not illegal but has some moral issues. A story that the people need to know. Is that not what news all about.

Wilson NC – Wilson activist taking a look back at the past year dealing with ElectriCities
Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on June 24, 2009
Looking back over the past year we as citizens of Wilson and surrounding cities and towns was in an uproar about the large increases in our utilities. How quick we forget.
The more than $400.000 that was paid to the CEO. The bad deals that was made by him. The legal fees.
The pressure that we as citizen applied lead to the resigning of the CEO. How quick we forget.
Clay Norris $244,755.00 salary and the person who report direct to him also resigned.
All this came from people standing up and holding those who should be held accountable.
Now we are looking at new challenges. Electricities has a new CEO at more than $535.000 two different type bonus at 10% each car allowance put him at more than $600.000. How will Electricities pay this?
How is NCEMPA going to deal with this? Will they try to take back all the power they gave Electricities or should I say the Board of Directors. The board that voted on the packet that was given to Graham Edwards. How are we going to deal with this new challenge?
Yes we it is up to us to make the difference. How quick we forget. The middleman is just that. We need not look to our leaders they already voter for this. Out of 14 voting members of the board 11 yes and 3 no. We have the right to know how our elected official voted. As any time they vote on issuers that will affect us. I have not seen anywhere how he voted. He voted yes. How quick we forget.
No willingness to make a difference. We need not look to state or Fed to help we need to help each other. Lets work on the middle man. Lets not forget that we hold the power.

Wilson NC – Concentrate on changing ElectriCities board
Posted by Curmilus Dancy II (Butch) on June 24, 2009
More respectable? Heck Mr. Dew has been very respectful. He has challenged the Wilson City Council and ran for mayor during the previous election. On top of his community activism, he is a hard working man who wants what is good for the community of Wilson and surrounding counties as it relates to ElectriCities and other issues.
Mr. Dew has been on top of the ElectriCities issue and has done some great research. He was hosting a daily radio talk show for a while educating folks about ElectriCities so therefore folks in Wilson should be up on the ElectriCities issues. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
