Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

DANBURY


Stokes County commissioners approved last night a new performance agreement with CenterPoint, which administers the county's mental-health program, and stipulated that the company must correct any deficiencies that are detected throughout the year or risk having the county's monthly payment withheld.

County officials say they just want the services rendered for the money that's being spent.

Stokes appropriated $398,830 to CenterPoint for fiscal year 2006-07.
