Citizens Speak

This was just posted on the web site for my High School Class Reunion and the numbers are very scary and do let us know that the WAR ON POVERTY is working in REVERSE.

Thanks for all of the efforts on this site. I was looking at the salery and price of a car. IF we use the same percentages as 1965, todays average car is priced at $27,958.00 so our average salery in the US should be $68,217.52 and in reality is just a little under $30,000.00. Looks like the war on poverty has made poverty worse. We are fixing to retire in this mess.

Go to the Corruption Section to read about voter fraud in Swain County. Documented and no news media in Buncombe County will cover. What is the problem???.

There is a way to find a solution to the water problem that is fair to the citizens of Asheville and Buncombe County. That solution has to be totally based upon cost of providing the service. First, the City of Asheville has given everything it has to make money away and they do not intend to give the water system away. They, the City of Asheville, turned over the MSD (Metropolitan Sewerage District) because they did not want to increase the rates to rebuild a system that had also deteriorated because of no maintenance.

Sledgehammer Time Again

Comments in Red are Don Yelton�s comments and questions and add to the scope of this article.

Everybody who wants to know what's next in the Raleigh Scandals can get the preview by reading the following email sent out this morning by Joe (the Sledgehammer) Sinsheimer.

1. What motivated you to seek the office of county commissioner and what are your qualifications?

If you study my efforts since 1988 in fighting the process for the landfill siting process, you will see that I have pushed for, fought for, and even gone to court to ensure open, transparent government. We need open and transparent government and as a commissioner I intend to push for it.

1) Since you are running for public office---when was the last time you read the United States Constitution in it�s entirety, and will you utilize it as a guide by which to evaluate your voting decisions?

I carry a copy in my day timer, (still old time and not palm pilot yet). YES, I value the basic Constitution first and foremost in my thoughts and philosophy.

Yes, I would work to help but that does not mean money. I need to explain that answer. I checked a list of parks and museums, etc. with our Parks and Recreation Department and found 124 entries. All were not in the same level as the Swannanoa Valley Museum. There are 6 museums listed in the Western North Carolina Museum Guide for 2007.
