He is a very dishonorable man from what I read in the reviews of his business.

Mr. Butch, did you ever think Mr. Wadley was under the premise that the church still had rental time on the building? Yes, he should have called the City, but you don't know all the facts and neither do we. One lie has surfaced already - he had the privilege license. Regardless, the Mayor is up for recall for good cause; of course, he used this situation as a way to buffer himself. He inserted it himself into his interview. I am most disgruntled that once again some residents of the City feel the only way to solve something is to run to the press, making all of us laughing stocks. Fortunately, it's only a few who need such attention. Sad.

jlp2011 if you think he did right I find fault with your moral fiber just like I did his. There is a line between right and wrong. He crossed it. I don't like the mayor at all. But when someone calls him on a recall vote then pulls a stunt like this he put his self above the rules. He has to answer too. No one is above the rules. So have a nice hypocrite of a day.

I know the Mr. Teague and Mr. Wadley and they are both great men! You people are to quick to judge. The mayor is up for recall and he trying to make himself look good. Mayor needs to take care of his wife and her drug habit!

I agree Butch. It doesnt matter that he contacted this "Mr. Teague" or not, which was probably done AFTER the city busted his bubble. Being on the city council, he should ( I use this word loosely) know the rules of the city. His intentions were there and he acted on them and got caught.

Recall them both. The guy knew his church stopped paying rent. Still he used it. If for nothing else for the storage of equipment. When a lease ends everything is supposed out on that day. Did he call and ask about paying till he did something else. No he said he didn't do anything wrong. I have grandchildren that take classes. I will have their parents checking up on the ones giving those classes. People that fudge and try to get by teach it to our young. To me that's not a pleasant thought. Shame on you MR WADLEY. As for Teague who cares about if he called you or not. He should have called the city and taken care of this in a timely manner. His actions are not what I'm sending mine to learn.

Mr. Wadley will be bringing his students to Karate for Christ in the Shannon Hills FBC. He was running his school, much like we do, through his church. It is unfortunate that the church went under. It is a fact that Mr. Wadley contacted me, Bobby Teague, State director for Karate for Christ of Arkansas, as soon as his Pastor let him know that the church was closing the doors. We welcome him and his students to our church. Bobby Teague Associate Pastor Shannon Hills FBC
