– Mayor Green says in response to her call for him to ‘bow out’ as he has outlived his usefulness

MAYOR of Georgetown Hamilton Green, who is almost 80 years old, has issued a public declaration that acting Town Clerk Carol Sooba is not his type, and as such she is not capable of knowing if he is tired or not.

The Mayor’s revelation came against a backdrop of the acting Town Clerk accusing him of “being too tired” and requested him to “gracefully bow-out” as Mayor of Georgetown since he has outlived his usefulness.

According to Sooba, the Mayor has been lagging behind in addressing the concerns of the citizens and this has contributed to a further deterioration of Georgetown.
At last week Monday’s statutory meeting, the Mayor had only addressed one agenda presented before the Council while another seven were ignored. This, Sooba contended, was a slap in the face of the citizens since their work is once again put on hold.

As such, Sooba made her call for the Mayor to “gracefully bow-out” as Mayor of Georgetown since, in her estimation, he seems “too tired” to function in this capacity.
Deputy Mayor, Patricia Chase-Green also responded to this accusation of the Mayor being too tired, saying that the Council has the confidence in the Mayor and that he has efficiently and effectively been performing in this capacity.
Meanwhile, accusations of the lack of communication by both the Deputy Mayor and Town Clerk have been levelled against their two departments.
Sooba, in an exclusive interview with this publication last week, accused the Mayor of “doing as he pleases” as it relates to his presence at City Hall. According to her “she is never made aware when the Mayor is leaving the country.” She said: “…most of the time also, the Mayor is not in this Jurisdiction; he’s out of the country and when he’s out, he does not indicate to the Town Clerk that he’s out, he just disappears.”
Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Greene last Friday also levelled similar accusations against the Town Clerk noting that “she does not communicate with them [herself and the Mayor].” Chase-Greene said that only last week, auditors were at City Hall executing their responsibilities and neither she nor the Mayor was made aware of this. As a result, she noted that there is a lack of communication between the Administration and the Council on issues of importance, an issue highlighted by Sooba some time ago.
