Talk:Anthony Foxx

Untitled
The article claims he's the youngest man to be mayor - mentioning his age would be interesting, at the moment that rather relevant fact is left as an exercise for the reader. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.71.42.197 (talk) 00:42, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Good point; his dob hasn't been found yet but he is 38. The info has been added to the article. Frank  |  talk  01:49, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Some content here should have inline citations, which might be available in the reference section. Since he's running for office, particular care and edits are likely in order. Specific parts: references to "gained a reputation as a quick study of local policy." references to how he "led" City Council initiatives, (was he the only one? did he make the proposals?) reference to "has also shown a strong penchent for personal responsibility, refusing a City Council pay increase in 2008." (misspelling of penchant, shouldn't use the word anyway. Has he declined future pay increases? How much is his pay as mayor? Has he had to recuse himself from discussions that involve his work?) reference to "has worked to reinforce Charlotte's role as a critical energy industry hub," (what specifically does that mean?) reference to "hosted a series of town hall meetings with unemployed workers," (didn't someone else pay for those meetings and he just showed up? what does "hosted" mean?) etc. Not questioning his leadership; just want to make the article stronger and less disputable. 14:20, 30 October 2011 (UTC)underoak — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akrewson (talk • contribs)

Ease of nomination to Transportation Secretary
This is suspect. Beckons some investigation as to how this is possible when impeding Obama has been the consistent mantra.--Wikipietime (talk) 23:07, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

It's terribly interesting, there is no mention in this article of Mayor Foxx hosting the Democratic National Convention for the re-election of President Barack Obama as one of the bright accomplishments of his time as Mayor of Charlotte. Could there be some correlation between his hosting the DNC, and his subsequent appointment to Transportation Secretary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.10.119 (talk) 14:39, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

DesignLine Trustee seeks recovery of $421000
I added as part of legal career. Should this be in a new section; Alleged NO SHOW? Some pretty serious allegations cited; "In his federal finance disclosure form, filed as part of his vetting for secretary of transportation, Foxx said DesignLine paid him a salary of $88,117. The form was filed in early 2013. But the records filed by Rudisill show DesignLine paid Foxx $181,217, including overtime, in 2012, the most recent year at the time of the filing. The reason for the discrepancy wasn’t immediately clear. A schedule of regular payments to Foxx included in the filing show he was paid $3,580.77 every two weeks for much of the time he was employed, as well as overtime payments of nearly the same amount. Richard Myers, a former federal prosecutor and professor at UNC-Chapel Hill’s law school, said it’s difficult to judge the propriety of Foxx’s employment without knowing more details of what duties he was expected to perform. “A general counsel’s position can vary widely depending on a corporate structure,” he said, ranging from a salaried, 9-to-5 position to an on-call adviser. “The bankruptcy administrator, they’re going to do whatever they can to recover money for the company,” Myers said." from the Charlotte Observer article Cause of Action:Avoidance of Transfers Under 11 U.S.C. §§ 544, 547 and 548 and Recovery Under 11 U.S.C. § 550--Wikipietime (talk) 04:33, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

The court filings detail the pay.

Redundency
"As the then-second largest financial services center in the United States, Foxx inherited a city facing the worst recession in more than 80 years. As the nation's second largest financial services center at the time, the city faced 25,000-plus job losses creating an existential crisis." This is redundent, is it not?
