important issues directly affecting the Citizens of Pocahontas County!
POCAHONTAS COUNTY PROBLEMS
THAT NEED ‘IMMEDIATE-FIXING’!
Here are the ‘Real Campaign
Issues’ that need to be addressed by all the candidates for county
commission, but so far only NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN
(REP-SD) & PATTI HEINEMANN (DEM-ND) have had the Ability, Courage
& Honesty to tell You-The-Voter
what you can expect from a Moral & Righteous government if You-The-Voter elect them as New County
Commissioners!
At the first meeting of the county commission in
January 2015 – here is the ORDER OF BUSINESS for
the Agenda!
1. FIRE ED RILEY! Demand a
full accounting! Clean-up 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 ‘Greenbrier Valley
Economic Development Corporation’ (GVEDC) with a new ‘Pocahontas County
Development Authority (PCDA) comprised of rank & file Citizens who want good
clean businesses!
3. REBUILD FORT WARRICK! Turn
the Public Land in Green Bank into a Tourist
Park – NOT into ‘open-pits & tanks’ filled with
raw-human-sewage-waste – our environment is too valuable to waste!
4. Create a ‘RESORT
AREA DISTRICT’ (RAD) for Snowshoe &
Silver Creek with ‘checks & balances’
to protect existing property owners; or form a ‘municipal-corporation’, and if they
cannot overcome their current massive $1.5 Billion debt – then let the State of West Virginia revoke their charter,
take over operations and relegate those operations 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, 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 – ‘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!
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;
♦ 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 & shares 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 ‘your papers
& permits’, etc.!
THIS TIME 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!
