REAL CAMPAIGN ISSUES – for a New County
Commission!
The POCAHONTAS CRIER
‘When the Righteous succeed the people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’ – Proverbs 29:2
The REAL CAMPAIGN ISSUES –
for a New County Commission!
Only NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN
(Rep-SD)
& PATTI
HEINEMANN (Dem-ND) have the Education, Experience,
Ability, Courage & Honesty to tell it like it is…and an intelligent agenda to Just say ‘NO’ to those who want to keep this
county in Poverty
& Pauperism – and – Just say ‘YES’ to real Progress & Prosperity for the future!
AGENDA FOR FIRST MEETING
IN JANUARY 2015!
1. FIRE ED RILEY! Demand a full accounting! Reorganize the Pocahontas County Solid Waste Authority (PCSWA) by
appointing ALL NEW MEMBERS that will follow the law – End all Lawsuits & Expunge all Judgments & Liens – and Exempt all
persons on fixed-incomes pursuant to State Law!
2. FIRE THE GVEDC! End the ‘Poverty Preservation Society’ – replace the self-serving ‘Greenbrier
Valley Economic Development Corporation’ (GVEDC) with a new ‘Pocahontas County
Development Authority’ (PCDA) comprised of rank & file Citizens
who want good clean businesses and will put THE COMMON
GOOD BEFORE SELF OR ANY SELF-SERVING SPECIAL INTERESTS!
3. REBUILD FORT WARRICK! Turn
the Public Land in Green Bank into a Tourist
Park – NOT into ‘open-pits & tanks’ filled with
raw-human-toxic-sewage – our environment is too valuable to waste!
4. FIRE DONALD TRUMP! Reject a Snowshoe Resort Area District (SRAD) – for lack of any ‘checks & balances’ to
protect existing ‘homeowners’ from the
Trump & Intrawest current massive $1.5 Billion debt – the Best Solution is to let the State of West Virginia
revoke their charter, take over ‘Receivership’
and turn all day to day operations over to this county to administer
accordingly in a ‘Workers CO-OP’
– we have more
than enough folks already trained in this county to operate Snowshoe &
Silver Creek for the mutual benefit of all!
5. Establish ‘Cell
Phone’ service for the entire county, so 'Medical-Life Alert' systems can become available; and obtain other communication
companies to end the monopoly of Frontier
Communications!
6. Establish renewable ‘Wind
Turbine’ electricity-service for
the entire county – produce new jobs & increase
the tax-base to the county with Clean Energy – ‘forever’!
7. Order an annual Audit & Certified Budget from all government agencies in the county – pursuant to Federal Law – it’s
a requirement ignored by the current county commission!
8. Order a listing & certified accounting for all county-owned land – so all Citizens
will know the true status thereof for proper county wealth & development – and provide
areas for those caught in the Flood Plain to relocate to higher level ground!
9. Establish a Referendum – for providing county funds to county
organizations that are not county agencies!
10. Establish ‘Public
Works’ projects where & when
feasible for the mutual benefit of
all concerned –
comprised of all available
carpenters, plumbers,
electricians, cement-masons,
roofers, and similarly
talented persons – including
persons willing to assist
Senior Citizens inside their homes
with cleaning &
personal care – using an industry ‘Living-Wage’ pay-
scale for each profession – Projects include:
♦ Completion of Durbin Library;
♦ Covered Pavilion for Farmers CO-OP;
♦ Relocating residents out-of-floodplain;
♦ Rebuilding businesses who wish to stay in
Marlinton to make an ‘Industrial/Retail Park’;
♦ Removal of leaking storage tanks & all
tanks
within a floodplain; and
♦ Repair & replacement for county
infrastructures!
–
and all can be done for just the ‘Cost-of-Materials’
& the ‘Cost-of-Labor’,
without having to pay any
interest / usury to any bank or financial
predatory-lender!
11.
Establish an Inventory
List of all underground
Storage Tanks – for
their structural integrity,
location
& removal away from all streams, ponds,
river
banks & flood plains accordingly – our
collective
health
& safety is too important than risking
contaminations & toxins into our common
environment!
12. Provide a legal analysis for each elected & appointed person working for the
county pursuant to their statutory duties & responsibilities – for
all that fall under the oversight of the County Commission so that no one will
ever have an excuse not to follow the law and carry out their duties from this
point forward!
13. NO ‘FRACKING’ in this
County – EVER!
Pure, Clean Water is too precious to ever risk polluting with
toxic-chemicals – especially in a county which boasts to being the ‘Headwater’
for ‘Eight-Rivers’
– bottling pure,
clean water should become the #1 business within Pocahontas County –
therefore all persons with natural spring water will be invited to join the
Pocahontas Pure Water CO-OP to bottle & sell pure water – SHARE IN THE
PROSPERITY and live happily-ever-after!
14. Full support for the Pocahontas County Humane
Society – a ‘NO KILL’ – animal shelter – that also subsidizes persons on fixed-incomes by sharing the
expense for neutering or spaying of all household pets – therefore as a county agency, they deserve
the full support of the county commission!
15. NO ‘BIRTHPLACE OF RIVERS NATIONAL
MONUMENT’ PARK NEEDED HERE! – such a ‘designation’ would
eliminate almost 40% of the federally-owned public land that we now all have
access to use – unless we are willing to
pay a ‘toll’ to use the same campsites and
drive the same Scenic
Highway – and be occupied by a new ‘federal-police-
force’ wanting to see ‘our papers & permits’, etc.!
No other candidates have offered such an
honest & straight forward program… that’s why…
THIS TIME…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty &
Pauperism
– and –
Just say ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
