A email correspondence post regarding two pressing issues in the county.
Has anyone heard of additonal information of the Voting Irregularity issue of our November "06" Election concerning our County Official (s)?
And is there any truth that O.J. Simpson is looking to head up the "machine" in Swain County?

Only time will tell
This was submitted through email and was found to be of such quality that it is an item which needs rebuttal.
Well, well, well, what a strange turn of events that time brings. Could it be with the defeat of the land transfer tax, (for our children) and now the resignation, or rather another retirement of the Superintendent of Schools, maybe an end of contract, could it be that in order to keep the power with the powerful, he and some seperating from the school adminstration, are eyeing a couple of seats on the school board in the fall of 2008. We must keep our ears to the rails to see if the train is coming. Had the "machine" had the absentee votes from 2006 they would have only lost by a 2 to 1, instead if the embarrasing 4 to 1. But, with the persistance of some individuals those absentee votes that always seemed to sway the elections were "not a sure thing" this time around, and probably never again. And, boy are they steamed.

Another DINOSAUR's time has come.
Have you ever noticed some special cases where people of our present are much like Dinosaurs of OLD? They have continued to struggle against the passing of time until they reach an undeniable point of extinction.
Just hanging on until their objectives regardless of consequences are either complete or they find they are completely out of reach?
Or until they find that their usefulness and influence has slipped away in time much like that of the dinosaur.
Were these beasts of the past and present of some use? Were they part of a chain of events that benefited us today? And finally is the future now better off with their demise?
YES! in all cases.
History most always seems to repeat itself and thank goodness, in such special moments it even transcends species from the dinosaur, to in this case man.
Is it fitting that this thought would come to mind when reveiwing the front page of our local paper, November 15, 2007 edition.

Have we placed the cart before the horse before?
Per a previous practice of moving comments to the front. The comment below appears to warrant comment. Being that it was itself a comment others may not have been able to consider it. It is placed in a post for consideration.

Have we not had to surplant money form the General fund to special projects and do budget amendments to cover such actions while awaiting funding? I agree we probably haven't operated in a dificit, however have we put the cart before the horse in the past so as to begin something before the funds were in place. Basically stepping off the boat before the dock was in reach. Ya, we didn't get wet yet but that's because of a gamble not responsible planning. What happens when we step off and the luck isn't there? Are we talking about creative finance now?The Rec. Park Projects are a fine example aren't they? As well as others? Just exactly how would score the present administration in logic and overall committment to the Whole County? And then the same question in regards to special interests? Have they operated with the best interest and intentions of the County as a whole in mind, for the better? If so please enlighten.
