Subject: CCDP election fraud a smokescreen?

    Randy:  So according to you concerns over Voting Fraud is a smokescreen? 

With the new  The fact is the Democratic Party has been eroding the integrity of our election process, fighting against positive voter ID, enacting same day registration, and three weeks of early voting.  Personally I see absolutely no need for early voting at all.  Voting is not just a duty and responsibility but an honor.  Anyone who cannot treat voting as a priority in their life has no business voting.

No, he didn’t!?! Yes, he did!

Darryl Wally has played the race card! I guess when truth & logic fail you play the race card.

Hey Darryl, which century are you living in? Haven’t you heard?

According to Jon Stewart the Race Card is Maxed Out

Jon Stewart has figured out that the Race Card has been rendered completely useless thanks to decades of overuse, abuse, and wear and tear.

Chatham enforces environmental regulations that are more protective than state rules

May 31st, 2011 · No Comments

Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 12:57:49 -0400
From: Caroline Siverson
Subject: Recent comments chatlist #4045

Mr. Glendinning appears to have confused facts and history with pipe dreams or is sadly misinformed. He proposes that since the state has the equipment they should enforce all environmental requirements and 
there is no need to duplicate that effort on a county basis.  The state does not have adequate staff to promptly enforce the environmental requirements in all 100 counties. Especially now, with the proposed additional cut backs at the state level.  There never was any consideration of testing locally.

Four Local Environmental Groups Blast Chatham County Budget

Major environmental groups in Chatham County describe the new Chatham County budget as an environmental disaster. They believe the three newly elected commissioners – Brian Bock, Walter Petty and Pamela Stewart – are participating in a larger Tea Party inspired effort to dismantle local, state and national environmental protections first initiated in 1969 and 1972  when President Richard Nixon signed the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act and the Clean Air Act.

May 27th, 2011 · No Comments

Date: Wed, 25 May 2011 08:09:11 -0400
From: BRIAN BOCK
Subject: Budget Proposal

I want to thank those who attended the public hearings on the proposed budget in Pittsboro and Siler City. While the majority of those I’ve spoken with and heard from support the proposed budget others have expressed concern that we are cutting vital services and environmental safeguards.

Funding core services and protecting our environment are key components in this proposal. Before I outline how this budget does that, let me recap the reasons for reducing spending now.
