you are correct Sweet-P.  Those other fellers did run against Gracie.  Neither got more than 25%.  I say that Bill Holder gets less than 25%.  In the other races, I see a republican sweep.  (Locally,where the races are contested).  Nationally, I fear that Barak Obama will be our next president.  That is a very scary thought.

Willieh, I don't know about republikins travels, but you are correct about Juan Brown's letter.  Rumors have been flying around about her for quite sometime, hopefully we will get some relief from these self-involved folks in January.  I, for one, am glad we are getting a clean slate on council.  R wilson and Gracie won't be a factor come january.

<br/>My question is whay not admit her travel, lodging, etc at county expense. Surely there is nothing to hide?<br/>

-nomadron

I've been wondering about that myself. If Anderson County Council sets aside funds for representatives of the county to travel on its behalf seekilng industries and businesses to relocate here, and if an authorized representative of the county - council member, administrator, development board member, hired hand in Eco-Devo or anybody else - uses that money for the specified purpose, where's the beef?

Willieh? Where is the violation there? Are you saying that somebody who wasn't authorized to travel at Anderson County's expense did so? Or maybe that somebody who was authorized spent money for something other than economic development purposes?  Or is is just that somebody you don't like spent duly authorized funds for a duly authorized purpose and you didn't get to go?

Enlighten us here, Willieh. Inquiring minds want to know.

A more interesting view is that Floyd is guilty of the same antics as C Wilson. She stands on the side of law suits filed against C Wilson & Waldrep, has given tax payer money to a group that didn't qualify, is rude to the members of Council her supporters dislike  and her supporters don't mind. When C Wilson is involved in those antics Floyd's supporters unify to protest. The point is there is a double standard held by many people. If the County is to really move forward that polarized thinking has to stop and voters must hold their candidates (and themselves) to higher standards. Three districts said "no" to  more of the same. Next Tuesday may change the way the Council does business. If Preston is so good and supports this county he will willingly work with them to accomplish what the voters have said they want and move on from there. This county is a good place to live. The people running it have spent too much time positioning. For Anderson to be a GREAT place to live the "good ol' boy system and status quo" have to end.

To steal a quote "change is needed". Change, change, change, change, change is needed.

Will someone else figure out why JEBCO  paid property taxes before 1998 then did not do so again until 2004 then did again until last year where there is no record of billing?

Agreed. That's a pretty serious charge you are making. I hope you have proof to back it up. Foot in mouth

Let's see.
Scenerio #1, #2, or #3. I choose window number 3. You're right, someone WillHe
doesn't like got to do something WillHe didn't. Poor boy! Best I can tell, within limitations, the Administrator can assign who he darn well pleases to go on economic development mission. Who knows when adding the right person to a team calling on a prospect will bring home the deal. That happened when Ron Wilson and Joey Preston and Glenn Brill all presented Anderson County to the
SOCV. Outcome, they are having their convention in Anderson and we get tourism dollars. Gee, is that a waste? WillHe wouldn't know a good deal if it knocked him over. YankeeFan is a first class naysayer. No ideas, no contribution, just complain, complain, complain. Get a life.

Oh, and JD, there is NEVER any proof and they NEVER back anything up! They are cowards.

So Republikin, are you saying that you never went to New Orleans? Never went to Chicago? Never flew from Chicago to New York? Never spent over $130.00 in taxpayer money in airport restaurant and bars while on the way home from New York? In less than 4 hours no doubt.

Maybe I saw the wrong paper work. Maybe I am wrong? I have been before. I am just asking. And as a taxpayer in Anderson county, I would like to know the answer.

Republkin what is the SOCV is it a big convention? If so then it was money well spent by whoever spent it.

SOCV = Sons of Confederate Veterans.  NOT racist group, just the men's group of DAR/SAR for the Civil War era.

 I have been to a Sons of Confed Vets convention.  There is money in them thar confederate hills, y'all!!!

It usually has 700+ registrants, plus spouses and kids.  This is NOT redneckville.  It is folks in nice attire, business suits, and toting American Express cards.  They stay in local hotels and eat all over the place and spend lots of money. 

Frankly, my impression is that Anderson has not been a mecca for conventions.  Greenville gets them.  Well, this may be a smart move, if it puts Anderson on the map for conventions.  I know of quite a few that are bored with Greenville and Anderson is in perfect location for getting some convention revenue into our tax coffers.

It is obvious repblikin has no idea what the cost of the SCV convection and a job for R Wilson's daughter cost the county; one unbiased vote.

There is no issue that when on county business the county can pay for expenses or the participant can write it off. The questions are, was the appointment legitimate and were there additional charges added? Search on this topic and review the old posts.

Willhee:

Well, all those are difficult to answer. Let me see if I can get down to your level. Yes, I went to New Orleans. Actually, more than once. Is that a crime? Yes, I went to Chicago. Actually, so many times I can't count. Is there a crime in that? Yes, I've flown from Chicage to New York, many time in fact. Any crime in that? No, I never spent over $130.00 of taxpayer's money while on the way home from New York, in four hours more or less. I have no idea what you are talking about. Those are the facts. Anything else is a complete fabrication.

And you know what? An appointment was made, voted on and carried out. The appointed person did what was requested. Results have been reported publicly.
It cost money to travel. What a surprise. R. Wilson votes as he chooses. What I know of him (and believe me, we are not friends and don't agree much) he is his own man and votes his on way. You just can't stand it.

So let me get this straight, Gracie has given 81K to a group that didn't meet the county requirements, isn't a 501 C 3, and they have no record of how they spent the money?

Bill Holder was not 'put up' by the conservatives to run against Graceless Floyd and I think he will give her a much better run that most of you believe. She has traveled at County expense many times. She has given our tax money to JEBCO knowing it was illegal but since no one questioned it, she continued her giving to them. She is a mouthpiece for Joey Ray Preston and our county would be much better off without her.

So . . .

Remind me again, Mister Wilson/McCarthy . . .

You live in District 2? You're an EXPERT on all things that are District 2, right? Just in case you are having to search for the words to answer those questions, here, let me give you a word, and it's a word you know well: NO.

Let me remind you of something . . .

You do realize that the Cleveland Browns have a better shot at winning the Super Bowl than this District 2 transplant (Holder).

Historical Fact: The Cleveland Browns are the ONLY NFL team to never have participated, let alone won, a Super Bowl in the modern era (1966-present).

Think about that . . .

Gracie in a LANDSLIDE.

 

... stupid ...

I don't think that Adjutant Preston will be here when the SOCV convention comes to Anderson and it is doubtful that Ron Benedict Arnold Wilson will be around either. That will make our County better too.

Stupid, you have NEVER been one to read anything correctly. I did not say Bill Holder would win...I said he would give Graceless a much better run than most of you believe. Read it again, Stupid, slowly and let it sink in. Yes, I am an expert in Dist. 2.
This one is for you STUPID: NObama/NoMeadors/NoPreston for Anderson County. At least you and I can agree on that. Right?

That would make two people we'd be better off without. The other one is in your mirror.
