 Subject: A few more important items about Jeffrey Starkweather 

Dee Reid left a few items off of her press release about her husband Jeffrey Starkweather. I am sure that it was just an oversight. I am sure it was a mistake. After all, Starkweather claims he is all for transparency.

According to avvo.com, as an attorney Jeffrey Starkweather was disciplined by the North Carolina licensing authority and reprimanded in 2005.

Subject: Fracking

Dear Jeff,

Please take time to write a shorter letter.

Your important stuff gets lost in redundancy and bluster.

The commercial chemical concoctions used in fracking are highly competetive and mostly patented and those patents require precise listing of the compounds used. Some are harmless and some are terrifying.
The crucial item for North Carolina legislation is that what the drilling companies use should NOT be allowed to be hidden behind the claim of “proprietary” so that risks may be evaluated and preventive safety features may be accurately determined.

Subject: Response to Jeffrey Starkweather, declared candidate for County Commissioner vs Mike Cross

I don’t make a habit of going back and forth on posts like Starweather’s last week. But I would just implore everyone to WATCH THE VIDEO of the meeting. The video speaks for itself and Starkweather’s embarrassing behavior. The invited guest presenter came in response to repeated citizen input regarding hydraulic fracturing and Commissioner Kost’s involvement in anti-fracking efforts. The guest speaker was kind and responsive to the citizens and he was fully open to take everyone’s questions and he stayed afterward to continue hearing out their questions. Watch the video and you will not find a condescending presenter, in fact one citizen asking him a question opened up with “you are very charming” and the presenter quietly listened while the citizen named her concerns about the process. He let her finish and he answered calmly.

Subject: Chatham Coalition loser plans to run for County Commissioner

The Chatham Coalition candidate who ran and lost to Mike Cross in 2008 plans to run against Mike again in 2012.

Jeffrey Starkweather is a man that in 2008, the Independent Weekly said “we cannot support his candidacy. As the primary force behind the Chatham Coalition, Starkweather has become a lightning rod for divisiveness, engendering a political backlash to the coalition’s agenda. Additionally, his tendency to embrace complex processes over efficient outcomes and to browbeat those who don’t share his views detract from his potential to govern. With Chatham’s recent churn, what’s needed on the dais now are cool heads and the ability to compromise.”

Subject: Jeffrey Starkweather is fibbing once again

You can pretty much discount Jeffrey Starkweather’s last post about conservatives.

He throws away any level of authenticity and authority by making one simple statement – “I do not believe party and ideological labels are relevant”

This yellow-dog has pretty much never endorsed a Republican or a conservative for any public office in Chatham County, NC.

For Jeffrey it is ALL about party and ideological beliefs.
