Jackson and Ron Goodwin, owner and manager of LaTerre XXI, both black, were turned down by the Tanglewood Board in favor of Epicure Management Services Inc. a white firm out of Rock Hill, S.c. Goodwin said that Tanglewood never gave him any reasons for the termination of Jackson’s services. “They didn’t say that Jackson gave bad service or that they were dissatisfied with his service,” Goodwin said. “I think they felt Jackson couldn’t give them the type of service they wanted or generate the kind of sales they wanted.” Goodwin, who was also turned down by the board said that he felt that they didn’t want him at all. “I gave a highly professional proposal and it was as good or better than anyone else,” Goodwin said. “I would like to see the reasons they gave for See Page 2 }uestions uspensiom Yvette McCullough Staff Reporter [lie recent suspensions our city employees has 3d the executive of the NAACP to the Board of Alder- , to review the City nager’s (Orville Po ll decision.
