A phone survey, that’s a laugh riot! 1st problem with this method of polling is that a significant number of people no longer have land-line phone service so they will be excluded from the sampling.

Next, where does the phone list come from? Remember your mayor has a history of robo-calling Brentwood residents in an attempt to slant public opinion in his direction.

And finally....”Your responses will remain completely anonymous” Yea right.

Here's what should have been done. The aldermen should have written the survey questions, purchased a list of registered voters who actually voted in a recent Brentwood election from the Election Commission and then sent out numbered surveys with return envelopes to a sampling of residents in each ward. I think there’s an outfit in town with experience in this area?

I have to agree with Mr. Completely on the method of survey. As a 'connected' politician in Rock Hill, I would love if all of my residents had e-mail or social media access. But I find many who would not find out if there wasn't mail or street signs posted.
However; No matter how hard you try, unless you go door-to-door there will never be a significant response.

So "The King of Robocalls" is going to randomly select 50 people to decide the fate of a $9 million dollar bill for all residents.... I bet he already has the font of his name picked for the cornerstone.. What an insult and joke..... Just to prove arrogance is alive and well in Brentwood..

It would be nice to know what percent of residents are goping to be surveyed/ What about the number of people who do not want to be involved. Are those people replaced or what? That sounds like a lot of money for a simple survey. Are the questions going to be ambiguous again? If there is no reference to how much things are going to cost the survey will continue to be useless.

How about the fact that Alderwoman Saunders unnecessary stalling in hopes of "finding" something slightly wrong with something done in the past. Quit worrying about the past, move to the future!

I have to agree with "Mr. Completely" on this one. A little off the subject perhaps but does anyone else out there think the Mayor's position with Eagle Bank is a conflict of interest? Perhaps a business would like to move into Brentwood but the site they are looking at doesn't meet their requirements. Maybe the Mayor could get a variance granted or maybe change the "set-back" requirements for this parcel? Maybe for a little extra cash up front? I'm not saying the Mayor has done any of this but just that it reeks of the potential for impropriety....

I do know from speaking with various public works employees over the years that the public works dept. installed the playground and the flagpole at Mark Twain Elementary School while the Mayor's children attended school there. Don't know if the residents picked up the tab for the materials but pretty certain the labor cost was "no charge"

You are all delusional. Pat Kelley has been and will continue to be a great mayor. I guess all of you hate that there is a target, dierbergs, bread company, whole foods, and other such booming establishments in our community. Since the mayor was instrumental in putting all of these in, I guess all of you abstain from shopping there. Why don't all of you go start your own city where you can have Queen Saunders running everything her way, trying to jab other people in hopes that she gets all the power and glory.
