NewsJunky Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 A good question and were will the money come from to build the infra structure to attract them. Everyone pays taxes, I find people object to them most strenuously when they don't like what they are being spent on, or when there are lies about how they are spent. Growing a county is like growing a business you have to invest were it will help you grow and give you the best returns. The growth of this county was not an entirely bad thing, it was a lack of balance in that growth and of course the economy. We were not the only ones to get hurt by this, many believed the real estate bubble would not burst and were going full steam ahead right up until the end. We are stretched so thin now covering services, I don't see where we have enough left to grow infrastructure unless we can get federal funds for this rather than raising taxes. That would depend on what kind of strings are attached to the Federal money. Link to post Share on other sites
EagleWings Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I've looked at all three web sites and they all seem to be for lower taxes. My question to the candidates would be in regards to commercial/industrial development. Currently, the economy here in Paulding is heavily affected by retail sales and residential construction. The market downturn has affected tax revenues and now the BOC & BOE are both in a huge budget crunch. There is very little diversification as far as industrial, manufacturing, etc. What will each candidate do to attract new types of businesses to diversify our tax base, and to bring good paying jobs to Paulding County? I had an hour of one on one with Todd about that very question. I will withhold my comments for now but I will say we agreed on the new approach and how past decisions can't sustain this county and its current tax burdens on homeowners. The economy may hinder short term progress but at least the vision is in the right direction. Link to post Share on other sites
tmilanese Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 The primary question we should be asking the candidates is what they won't do, not what they will do.

Whether she agreed will the board or not she couldn't speak freely about what she was for or against. She was their ASSISTANT not someone to RAT them out.... Your comments are being very unfair to her and her responsilities in her job title. Shame on you!!!! So it is okay with you for an employee of the county being paid with our tax dollars to remain silent on issues that affect all tax paying citizens. It would be most helpful if she came onto P.Com and explianed her silence on this matter Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that our current commissioners seem very focused on development in this area, I am on board with this. I personally am looking at those running that will be on board with this also. I am very interested in the specifics of where they intend to invest in growth, if it provides good jobs that pay a living wage then I am fine with our county investing in the infra structure. If it is going to provide 100's of more min. wage jobs I am going to have a problem with it. Or creates more maintenance burdens such as a park. People will come for good jobs and they will be able to afford the existing housing we have. Link to post Share on other sites

As far as I know they do control the size of roads and where they are upgraded, they also control the size and type of infrastructure built. Large businesses and industries look at these things when considering where to locate. We already did the 1/2 the county working for the gov years ago that didn't work out well neither did the growth explosion in retail. All the counties that have good infrastructure will be seriously considered, we will be overlooked yet again, and off my children go to fight traffic to work in Atlanta, and buy homes there when they are tired of wasting 4 hours of their day on a hwy.

I agree, I don't see where an employee should be held responsible for anything an elected official did. Now if we write laws where hired employees that work for gov. are required to report the goings on to citizens then that is another matter. It looks to me as those that are angry at the previous admin. are looking for a scapegoat. And honestly gives the points you are making less credibility. You basically are looking for someone to undue what the previous admin did, I don't think that is possible. This election is about our future here in this county. I really wish candidates could come on here and state their positions. More times than not they are attacked for the sole purpose of pushing them to edge making them paint themselves in a corner. This is great venue for people to really get to know a candidate. unfortunately a handful ruin it for the majority. Link to post Share on other sites

It was not Beverly's responsibilty to report what goes on behind the scenes in the County Commission whether good OR bad. It's your elected officals that are held accountable, NOT the administrative staff. She performed a clerical duty to the Board of Commissioners for Bill Carruth and Jerry Shearin. Don't talk about her like she was a part of any kind of corpution. I don't remember you ever dogging her out or blaming her on here during all of your other rants and raves.... Plus I don't know what you are griping about now. You play dirty anyways.

Tahoe Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Its all on the video of the BOC meeting where Todd Pownall directly asked Jerry Shearin about the email from Pat Crook discussing having Richardson office attempt to get an exemption form the state revenue department so the BOC would not have to hold special meetings to discuss the proposed bond payment increase. Shearin and company sat there and denied knowing anything about it. And Beverly was sitting right there with the BOC not saying a thing to the contrary. If you want to put Jerry back on the BOC then elect Beverly. You more ignorant that what I thought....She would be ruled "Out of Order if she spoke. What do you expect her to do, jump up and say I know, I know, I know, I can answer that....You obviously don't know the rules of ANY board meeting. It's called the Rules of Decorum, look it up.

Tahoe Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Sounds to me like she should have been thinking "Do I want this job or do I want a future in politics?" I want to elect people that are painfully honest. That means honesty being at the top of the list even if it hurts me or you. And by the way, that not going public crap only works when you have been sworn to secrecy because of the nature of your job, such as CIA agents. Being a county manager and not exposing an action that has the smell of corruption does not qualify. Beverly Cochran was NOT the county manager, she was the Exectuive Administrative Assistant to the Board of Commissioner. Pat Crook was the County Manager. Link to post Share on other sites

If the BOC had spent half the time and effort the past 10-15 years courting industrial buisness park developers as they did dancing with the ROBBER BARON MEGA DEVELOPERS and their High Density Housing we would have local jobs in private industry. Instead of partnering with the big industrial developers with joint ventures where the county is an actual partner in the development, helping with the roads, sewer, utilities and grading instead of throwing up road blocks we would see developers here building office and industrial parks to bring in businesses with high paying jobs.

First off I am not endorsing anyone in this commissioners race, Secondly if posting what I know about any candidate in any of the races make me a "mean, grumpy old man" Then so be it, I can accept that criticism and move on. Regardless of what I say, Beverly can not hide from the fact that she was part and parcel of the Jerry Shearin Adminstration, If the citizens of Paulding County want ro elect someone that was part of the good ole boy's network, They certaintly have that right, I also have the right to voice my opposition to her being elected. It would be a total waste of my time to meet Beverly, Since I have knowledge of what her positions are and what she stands for. Having been a County employee for many years, And particularly a part of a adminstration that raised taxes every year except the last year of her employment with the county, That is really all that I need to know. As previously stated Beverly Cochran seems to be a very nice person, But......That does not qualify her to be a Commissioner,Now does it? Furthermore the present Paulding County Commissioners chose not to continue her employment with the County, As well as other high level personnell , I wonder why??

surepip Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 You should not pass judgement on Beverly without knowing the great person she is. She was in the BOC for almost 13 years. Which means she was there before "king Jerry" as some of you like to call him. I do not have knowledge of the incident you all are referring to, but I really don't need to . Beverly is a strong Christian woman with integrity. She sincerely cares about the people and this county. If you do not know her, you are missing out. Do not associate her with someone you don't like just because she had a job. If we crucified everyone who worked for a crooked politican, no one would hold an office. Go to her website or facebook page and get to know who she is and then pass your judgement. Look: If it walks like a duck, smells like a duck, and talks like a duck; Odds are pretty damn good its a duck. If you want to elect Jerry Shearin's protege of 8 years to the BOC then by all means that is your choice and you can do so when voting. But to expect Beverly Cochran to be all her own person as a politician after sitting in on all the executive sessions concerning property deals, litigation, bonds, building the TajMahal, etc., and to not have picked up some of King Jerry's fleas in the process is in my humble opinion far-fetched and absurd. For those who have dealt with the BOC, and Beverly in the process, then you understand she was part of the Good 'Ol Boy system just as much as was King Jerry and his merry band of puppeteers.

surepip Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 What does that mean? One of the other candidates for the Post 2 Commissioner is Todd Pownall. And Todd is who "Outed" King Jerry at a BOC meeting a month or so before the primary vote for trying to sneak in a back door bond tax increase to pay for the TajMahal complex and greenspace. An email surfaced which was sent to all the commissioners by Pat Crook the county manager describing how an old Roy Barnes law meant to prevent back door tax increases was going to require the BOC to advertise the millage increase for the bonds to pay for the new courthouse and admin buildings plus the greenspace purchased. She then goes on to describe how she has requested Glenn Richardson and Lani Skipper the county attorney to get involved with the Department of Labor and get them to allow the BOC to raise the rates WITHOUT having to advertise the increase. And she goes on to tell them how "They won't be able to go out in public" if they have to advertise the increase. This is the email Todd refers to in the video: Which Shearin then denies knowing anything about. Cute... And in the election which was a week or 2 after the meeting, King Jerry lost his throne by like 71% to 29%. Like I said before.....If you want King Jerry's influence back on the BOC, then elect Beverly. Link to post Share on other sites

Back anyone you like little guy, but lay off my ass when it comes to pointing out that someone was part of a former regime. Those people damn near destroyed the county. It will take good, honest leaders many years to straighten out the mess they left. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR ANYONE THAT WAS A PART OF THAT REGIME. I don't care if they were the damn janitor! Now you starting to see the picture? OKAY NOW INNOCENT READERS/POSTERS PAY ATTENTION. The negative words posted in this lengthy topic are because 1 man would not vote for the facilities guy or janitor that worked while Jerry Shearin was in office. Take notice of this, and don't let that nasty attitude keep you from reaching out to the candidates and making your own decision. As others posted too, just because you work there doesn't mean you agree with everything that happens there. I didn't agree with everything my old company did. Do any of you agree with all the decisions made at your place of work by the people in charge? Take notice that this bad attitude rears it's ugly head to remind us all of the lawsuit about once every 4-6 months or so. Not that re-posting it changes anything. I've always been told to try to let things go and move on. It helps with healing and peace of mind and health. I certainly hate it when people I know keep bringing up stuff over and over and over again. Take these posts with a grain of salt. Edited May 8, 2010 by MEvans Link to post Share on other sites
