Holly Blackwelder and Joy Lane Take Money from REBIC PAC
April 26th, 2008 · 31 Comments
I just discovered that RECIB PAC has made political contributions to Holly and Joy for their primary election. Can anyone tell me anything about this organization and/or why they would be interested in the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners Election???? In the meantime I will continue to search on my own to see what I can come up with. I would be interesting to find out what other PAC’s have made contributions to our County Commission Candidates??? How do you go about finding out election finance facts such as who gave what to whom????
I did find this link:
http://www.rebic.com/2008%20SPPACE%20Financial%20Support.html
I now know why but I still don’t know how much or what is expected of them. I hate PAC’s.
It might be interesting to note that this PAC has also contributed $2000.00 several times to the now convicted NC State Representative Jim Black and several other Democrates in Mecklenburg County over the years. But that figures, PAC’s are in the business of buying politicians.

30% Increase in Garbage Fees
December 8th, 2007 · 18 Comments
I heard on TV that we are going to start recycling our trash county-wide and I thought how nice this would be until I called Allied Waste Company and asked how much more this was going to cost me. You could have knocked me over with a feather when they told me about the new charges. I remember that we voted this service down because it was going to cost two dollars more per month. What happened to that vote?? Now its going to cost me 60.00 more per year to get my trash hauled off and I have to sort it for Allied Waste who will be getting paid for my recycled trash. I hope someone in County Government has a good reason for allowing this collection contract to be approved. This is just like another tax on the Citizens of Cabarrus especially on the ones on fixed income. Now I have to cancel my garbage service and start hauling my own trash somewhere (I don’t know yet) else. There is no way that I can afford this new garbage collection fee on top of everything else. The water service just went up again now the garbage, whats next…. the new County Tax Rate, I suppose and/or a new property value assessment too.
Several years ago, I was looking forward to my retirement. Now that its here, I don’t know what to do, maybe when the good Lord takes me outta here, I can find some peace.
