yellowduckdog Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Kim Curl is my cousin so I'm a little biased, but he honestly is a wonderful person and would do a great job for Paulding County as he has done in the past on the school board. Kim Curl is not my cousin but is a great man & anyone who knows him at any level would be hard pressed to say otherwise.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Dallas Bigfoot Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 I see that some of the regulars on this site are heaping High Praise upon Kim Curl, I agree he is a fine person but................ Is this the same person that at one point quit the School Board because he did not get his way?? Is this the same person That Donated money to the "Support Paulding Schools" committee during the School Bond election, That crammed the school bond down the throats of the citizens of Paulding County? Is this the same person that supported increases in School Taxes almost every year while he was serving on the School Board? While elected to the School Board? Can Mr. Curl hold both positions if elected to the House of Representives, Or will he resign from the School Board to run for this office. This is one candidate That has a past record that can be easily seen, Just look at the Tax Statement for the past several years as it relates to the SCHOOL TAXES you have paid, And the decision will be easy to not vote for Kim Curl. ENOUGH SAID Had to go back to yesterdays comments. Whitey who do you support? You bash Curl but don't mention which candidate you support. It seems you are bashing him, and maybe at some point the others, since they are not Democrats. I can't wait until we get closer discussing the Governor's race. You will be praising Barnes like he is the next Messiah. Yep, good old boys looking after good old boys. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You will be praising Barnes like he is the next Messiah. Yep, good old boys looking after good old boys. The party has nothing to do with my comments on Mr. Curl, His actions/votes and the way that he has conducted himself as a member of the Paulding County school Board has everything to do with my comments. I do not agree that we should of had a school tax increase most years that he has served on the School Board, DO YOU???? FYI I believe the record will reflect that last tax year was the first year in several years that the School BOARD DID NOT PROPOSE A TAX INCREASE!!!, Furthermore the School District received MILLIONS of dollars of stimulus money from the Federal Government to off set the need for a tax increase last year. I will take this opportunity right now to praise Roy Barnes, You really have a short memory, Roy and the Democratic controlled Legislature passed the HTR act which saved most homeowners over $200 per year in property taxes REMEMBER??????????????? Having said that do you remember who took that away????? THE REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED LEGILATURE AND GOOD OLE SONNY BOY. And you want me to vote for Curl with his track record of tax increases? Wow you have been listening to Rush and Beck to much,And not doing the research on your local candidates, Amazing that some people will agree with you that also campaigned to raise your taxes 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Cathyhelms Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Being involved in more than one youth organization in Paulding County over the years I have to say Kim Curl has always been very supportive of those programs. Sometimes you can't make decisions that please everyone but someone that cares about the youth in Paulding would have my vote. Link to post Share on other sites

NewsJunky Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 Paulding County hired Kim Curl to look after the needs of it's children.

Some of the policies put into place and amended during Clinton's administration might have helped in the "short term" and could be construed as "short term fixes", but as you can see, we are now paying for it in the "long term". Obviously it is not limited to Clinton or the Democrats; however, I do have to say they caused a great deal of our current problems. Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously it is not limited to Clinton or the Democrats; however, I do have to say they caused a great deal of our current problems. Don't forget that there was eight years of Bush too. I don't like being in a position of having to defend Clinton, I never voted for him, never cared for him. As far as someone to drink a couple of beers with and shoot the bull, I do think he would be a lot of fun. As for effect on my bottom line...... I have the results and what Clinton did had a much more positive effect on my bank account than what your buddy did. I'll not be voting for him (nice guy or not) and I will be sure to remind everyone I know. Not that it will have any effect on the election outcome but I think it is important to know who played a part in making our tax bill increase. If you ran for office I would do the same for you.

Then you could stand on the board & change everything... although it has to be a majority so they might not like your idea & then technically you would be supporting it since you are on the board. I am not saying that happened but you act like everything you say is right so I am playing my way now...

Just because you and the other guy say it dont make it so. Here's what IS so: My property tax went from $7,000 a year to over $12,000 a year due mostly to the school bond. I don't care if Jesus was running for office, if he raised my taxes that much I wouldn't vote for Him either. So now it was the other BOE members that were responsible for the bond and your guy just had to go along with the majority? Which is it? Link to post Share on other sites

Okay then....the majority of the voters voted in favor of the school bond last time so I guess that could have been a good thing for Kim, right? Maybe Kim did like I did myself - voted in favor of the school bond for the well-being and educations of the children of this county. Yes, I do believe it was a "necessary evil". By the way, I am quite sure that the school bond had nothing to do with Kim's decision. Link to post Share on other sites
