Subject: Comment about Heather Johnson’s “who’s in charge” post
There is no doubt about who is in charge of the campaigns of the democratic party candidates for commissioner and school board.
Some in the county may not Know Jeffrey Starkweather well but even the indy weekly couldn’t endorse him as a democratic candidate due to his divisiveness.
Here is what they had to say about him:
*”As the primary force behind the Chatham Coalition, Starkweather has become a lightning rod for divisiveness”*
To paraphrase President Obama “Jeffrey Starkweather may not be on the ballot but his policies are”
I think this may explain why the democratic candidates don’t support the efforts to bring an auto manufacturer to western Chatham. He is busy suing Pittsboro to stop Chatham Park and will turn his attention to the mega site soon. and if his candidates get elected I’m afraid we will loose out to neighboring states once again.

This is in minutes from the Chatham County Democratic Party executive committee meeting on July 17:
*”Mark Barroso noted that there is not enough information on why the three Republican BOC members need to be retired in November. He felt we need talking points”*
This is one of the main Democrat activists stating that “there is not enough information on why the three Republican BOC members need to be retired in November.”
So Jeffrey sought to make some up:
On July 21 at 12:53pm Jeffrey Starkweather sent this:
“When I return from my two month trip to California by July 31, I will be working with our commissioner candidates through the Chatham Strong political action committee to be making talking points and other counter communications to the Bock lie campaign for use by the party and anyone else supporting our fall campaign to boot the TV commissioners out of control of Chatham County, as well as talking points for the school board races”*
