WHITEY

Hi MEvans No I am not in post 2,And neither are most of the other posters in this thread that is supporting Beverly. Yes you have campaigned for Beverly on P.Com and that is your right,Have at it. The campaign has really got a long way to go,And if Pubby allows the discussion to continue you can rest assured that more will be discussed about Beverly, And her ties with the adminstration that she worked for. Beverly has a choice,She can answer the claims here on P.com or she can ignore this media, The choice is hers. If I recall the first time that Beverly spoke at the (I believe R

GOP Rules As far as I am concerned Todd Pownell, Adam Gregory, And Beverly Cochran Can all Denounce me all that they care too, And so can the other supporters of Beverly Cochran, I have no intentions whatsoever from backing away from this race. You and the good ole boys network I see have come to the rescue of of your favorite candidate and I could care less about this also. Beverly Cochran as I have stated previously appears to be a nice person, However her past association with an adminstration that has literally bankrupt this County should be taken into consideration when considering w

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

Bond debt for the new Court house and green space.

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

NJ In reading some of your past post, YOU really know better that the garbage in this post. The State of Georgia has/will receive over 5 Billion dollars of stimulus money, With over half of the simulus money goimg to education. http://stimulusaccountability.ga.gov/02/gov/stimulus/home/0,2804,134245182,00.html Having said that since the Republicans have had total control of the State of Georgia and Paulding County for a number of years now, Do they share some of the responsibility for the mess that the State and County is in??? You got to remember that the State Legislature also pa

I feel like appointed officials paid with my/our Tax dollars should be standing up for the citizens of Paulding County in all matters that affect us. Sorry that you do not share that same idealogy

I am not trying to destroy anyones character simply pointing out the past Facts of Beverly Cochran. However if Beverly should choose to enter the fray here on P.com I would be very eager to discuss the entire episode with her I previously stated that Beverly appeared to be a very nice person, I stand by that statement, BUT.....She had the opportunity to stand up for the tax payers and failed to do so. This is by no means an assination of her character. Just the facts

How would we be climbing out?? What would make this happen??

Ask Beverly if I have the proof?? Mr Pownall is not in my post, Therefore I do not have a vote in this race.Furthermore there are three candidates in this race I have had some dealings with Beverly, And to be quite honest with you some were not very plesant for me. having said that Beverly appears to be a very nice person. The citizens in Post 2 have the opportunity to judge her merits to become a commissioner. Which wil in all probability will include her tenure with the past adminstration

I have a problem with her not speaking up about the proposed delayed tax increase,that was exposed by Todd Pownall,At a BOC meeting. This certaintly fell into her responsibilty and knowledge as an Adminstrative Assistant to the BOC, Sure she was a County employee and her salary was paid for by our tax dollars She worked for all the citizens of Paulding County, Not for Jerry Shearin and the other County Commissioners who desired to keep this from the general public. Maybe Beverly will come onto P.Com and explain her involvement??? I am not trashing Beverly for working for the County under

I hope Beverly Cochran does run on the job that she performed as Adminstrative Assistant to Jerry Shearin. Question........ Did Beverly speak up when the adminstration attempted to delay the tax increase until after the primary election??? oh, of course i know that answer, She did not have any knowledge of it right???????

I have no problem commenting on it in a public forum, SUREPIP SHOULD HAVE HIS DAY IN COURT AND HAVE HIS PEER'S MAKE THE DECISION ON THE VALADITY OF HIS LAW SUIT ASAP And quit wasting taxpayers dollars by delaying his day in court

ltd I hope that you will take the opportunity to meet with and talk with Will Avery in the near future,maybe even attend a debate if the opponent will debate with him,He is very committed and articulate candidate, who really has the State of Georgia and Paulding County at heart. I hope that all of The 19th District will listen to the total platform of Will Avery, And his opponents. I intend to attend the Republican debate of the Candidates,I do know Mr Stout credentials, And paulette past votes and actions as a former member of the PC BOE speaks for themselves, However Steve Golden is a newbi

NewsJunky Are you aware that the State used about one billion this yesr in stimulus funds in the budget process , And the stimulus provided over 11 million to the PC BOE last year, Had this not happened their would of been massive lay offs last year at the BOE

I oppose the renewal of this S.P.L.O.S.T. And hope that many of my fellow Paulding County Voters do this also. Many citizens of Paulding County are having to stretch every dollar they have just to make ends meet, during the greatest Recession in the History of these United States...Now is the time to cut taxes, Not raise them. The General Assembly voted this session to raise our taxes on a range of issues from a $10.00 fee on Tags, for Trauma centers to Placing on the ballot another .01 sales tax for transportation improvements, And refused to fund HTR act for the second consecutive year, C

Pubby I found that Mr Sibley ran for post 1 Commissioner in 2004, And was defeated by Larry Ragsdale, I also found that he was appointed to the water and sewer board to fill the un expired term of Jay Harmon, Under Chairman Shearin;s adminstration, This could raise a few eyebrows? HMMMMMMMMMMM?

Pubby I guess I am getting a little senile in my old age, But I do not remember what office that Mr Sibley ran for in the past, could you enlighten me on this? Was it the DA position?

Thanks Pubby

I do agree with this post,That is why I checked the web this morning on the campaign contributions, The problem with this election is that most of the contributions will never be available until after the votes have been cast and counted

First Beach Bum, I will put my credibility up there among you and other posters on this board,and nothing you can do or say can take that away. Secondly You continue to state that I have made "accusations" on a public message forum,Now ..................... I certainly do not have the 30 years of experience that you protend to have in the legal field, But I do know the difference between a question and an accusation, May I suggest that you read the following very slowly and take a few moments to let it sink in..........Pubby stated"First off, the comment of Whitey is protected speech that

NewsJunky Our voice as a County has already been weakened by the antics of our elected officials,I only need to point to the reason for this special election as validation. What I really find ironic in Pubby's post is this statement.... To include something in this post that is ON TOPIC, I will say that I ran into Jerry Shearin this evening and he said that he heard that Daniel Stout had collected $30,000 in campaign funds from his friends in the banking industry.Since this was hearsay I did take the opportunity to look at all of the campaign disclosures of all of the candidates, And

Beach Bum I asked four questions,And made one statement,If you are not satisfied, Then you need to make friends with the little button on the left of the post that is shaped like a triangle and stetes report. If the moderators or Pubby tells me that what I have done is improper,Then i am sure they will delete the first QUESTION of my post. Have yourself a very wonderful and restful night GOOD NITE ALL
