Yes, he has problems - but it's also obvious that the board has, from the beginning, cast him aside. The folks on the board need to 'man up' and include him in discussion and dialogue instead of forming a clique and excluding him as is so common in SE North Carolina. It's this type of behavior that he's railing against. Unfortunately, it's such a problem for him that he can't function properly as a result. He does need to get his life together, but I would also say that there should be voices like his in public office. Voices of 'regular' people that have worked just as hard as those that became 'successful' by way of the 'good ol' boy' network, and doing so on the backs of others.
