High Noon

I remember the old westerns when the bad guy called out the hero on to the street to shoot it out, well it seems that a group that meets on a regular basis in huddle town have been called out. I think the cockroach has met his match with this group made up of the collective intelligence of the area.

Obviously one of the cockroach supporters squeeled on them discussing captain mudslinger and he took offense to the discussion so he has to mention them in a threatening manner to shut them up. This makes them all celebrities at this point. I'm sure that some how it will be all staged by the local businessman so he can be bashed along with them, paronoid people think like that so I would expect that to come at some point. But, I wonder what they were discussing that was so upsetting to the cockroach to make him call them out.... hmmm.

I have a good idea, how about the cockroach stop in for a cup of coffee and have an open debate with the coffee club in huddle town, now that would be worth watching.

Sorry to disappoint but that most likely won't happen because we all know that the cockroach is a back stabbing coward and too scared to actually meet face to face with anyone that disagrees with him. But and offer that I am sure the coffee club would extend.

It's high noon in huddle town.

OOPS

Oh my did I really read that the economic head came to the party to defend his program and try to educate them on WHY there is no industry locating to the area?

It seems some of the reasons are a lack of DSL, water and sewer, buildings, and educated and supportive council and to top it off the poor representation of the area through the area's only online source of news. Well gee howdy how about that. So we can blame the mudslinger for people getting the wrong impression of everyone, especially the council and business leaders on an edgefield daily basis on the mudslinger. Never thought I would see the day that an outsider would take the time to say what everyone else knows and have it part of the record but there it is all out in the open.

So one would ask what are any of these people doing representing the area if they are ill prepared to know what industries need in order to lure them to the area and to stand idle and do nothing to correct what is needed to accomplish this task. My guess would be self preservation and lack of purpose. If you have someone that knows what industries need telling what you have to do to accomplish this, why just sit like a bunch of bozos and do nothing to change this? The area will never grow unless changes are made. But the genius idea this bunch came up with is to not pay an organization that advises them on what they need to do (which they ignore) and blame them for not bringing any new employers to the area because of their inaction. I guess they feel it is better not to pay a professional to represent the county, this way no one will know they are all stupid.

Any part of the country that thinks it can just tax the crap out of people and do nothing to expand the tax base fails the citizens. There are people defaulting on mortgages daily across the country and businesses going under as well, people out of work or working shorter weeks and it will get far worse before it gets back to normal. This means a trend in less revenue available and a smaller tax base that can only be fixed by raising taxes on those that are left to pay more.

Edgefield has higher taxes than all of the other surrounding counties, why is this? The answer is the school district and a lack of industry. So why not fix what is wrong instead of funding pet projects and lure some employers to the county. Sadly I found out recently that the main employer in the county is the prison and the other is a bunch of turkeys, so what will it take to change this other than the taxpayers demanding this change.

To my supporters, thanks for the nudge and happy to voice your concerns.

But the cat is out of the bag now, everyone now knows the mudslinger has had a negative impact on industry locating here.

OOPS

Nacho Money Redux

Never in my life would I have expected this stupid issue to ever surface again, but low and behold idiocy prevails. In an open budget meeting we have the issue of concession funds come up again with a good exchange between the senior councilman and councilman Mee Too. What do these monkeys not understand when it comes to this issue? The concession trailer is owned by the county but the food, drinks, etc are purchased by a church group that sells the items during sporting events. So are these people expected to give the profits from the sale to the county? No wonder this is Mee Too's only job if he can't figure that one out. Easy to figure out for most normal people but complicated when you have the mentally challenged in charge apparently. To make it easy as I was explained before, if someone else buys the nachos and sells the nachos it's nacho money.

Maybe the common man candidate should get some signs printed and run his campaign on this, I think it will work and I hope he posts some signs near the soccer field since last I heard there won't be any concessions there because of all this mess and finger pointing. Now that is progress and a fine job done, right?

Speaking of the common man candidate is appears from the redneck minds page he has caused quite a stir and complete fear in a few knuckleheads that are bashing him there with some heavy handed and personal attacks that are totally unfounded and with the intent to smear him before he gets out of the gate. Sadly this is the way that the cockroach operates his blog with the certainty that it will benefit him or one of his comrades in destruction. Of course he has to be labeled as someone siding with a local businessman or some underground conspiracy group which in my opinion shows how truly frightened they are of this candidate. OF COURSE they are scared of this dude, since Mee Too has done NOTHING during his elected period with the exception of a failed puppy police law and shutting down the concessions locally.

I was truly saddened that no one had the gumption to run against momma cockroach because she had done even less than councilman Mee Too, well with the exception of showing up and voting NO and being asleep at the wheel during the zoning nightmare. But again, no one stepped up to run, so the citizens in the westside will just get more nothing for their lack of enthusiasm. I just can't believe there is no one in the golf community capable or interested in running.

As far as the other budget issues regarding the funding of an educational institution, that is taxpayer money and should be spent as the taxpayer wishes. If we fail to educate anyone in this town we have all failed.
