CERTIFY AN ACCOUNTING
FOR ALL COUNTY-OWNED-LAND!
Currently there are a lot of
various size parcels of county-owned-land that apparently have not been
compiled into a single list so that any given Citizen could verify the status
thereof in order to establish a proper accounting for the county’s wealth &
development. And at the rate that the
so-called ‘Greenbrier
Valley Economic Development Corporation’ (GVEDC), a private-corporation that claims to be a ‘quasi-government agency’, has been
looting Pocahontas County for its own ‘corporate-gain’
– there is no telling at the present time just how much WEALTH this county has
lost to the GVEDC and to its cronies!
That’s the BAD NEWS but the GOOD NEWS is that if NORMAN
LEE ALDERMAN (REP-SD) & PATTI HEINEMANN (DEM-ND) are elected in May &
again in November – then at THE FIRST MEETING of the new COUNTY COMMISSION in
JANUARY 2015 – the GVEDC will have to begin paying back every penny
that they have stolen from this county – as a matter of law & fact!
In the meantime, it’s now a known
fact that within the last six-years that this county has had to suffer with
David ‘chicken-little’ Fleming as a
county commissioner (Dem-ND), he has groveled at the feet of the GVEDC for
every free-meal that he has eaten as a member of their self-serving ‘board’!
And now the same can also be said about William ‘Billy-Bob’ Beard, Jr. as a county commissioner (Dem-SD), since he too is now on the GVEDC ‘board’ also bought with free-banquet meals & perks paid for by
Pocahontas County money! In fact, unverified 'hearsay-rumor' has it that at the last ‘free-banquet’ attended by both ‘Chicken-Little & Billy-Bob’, upon
entering the dinning hall they were offered a meeting bulletin but turned it
down telling the receptionist that they were ‘just there for the food’!
Rumor also has it that
Fleming knows his betrayal of the Voters in Green Bank and the Northern
District in particular, and the county in general, may very well see him ‘fired’ by the Voters and removed from
the county commission – so ‘Chicken-Little’ is trying to get hired by the GVEDC, and if not by
them, then at least by Snowshoe Mountain, Inc. for as long as Intrawest &
Fortress can exist living-off a ‘RAD’, if
& when, forced upon the backs of the mountain property-owners and
workers! So what’s next, a 20% or more ‘pay-cut’
from all employees except ‘management’? We will all know soon enough since both Fleming
& Beard can ‘review’ the RAD-proposal
and call for a vote of all property-owners anytime after 17 May 2014!
That’s why a
full-accounting is required to determine just how much county-owned-land has
been transferred to GVEDC & its cronies, and how much is actually left! A recent Citizen-Taxpayer
lawsuit filed against the Pocahontas County Commission (PCC) challenged the ‘secret-transfer’
of three acres of public land in Green Bank held in Common from the PCC to
the GVEDC and from the GVEDC to a private-for-profit corporation,
owned by Jacob Meck, who now operates over seven-businesses on those same
three-acres all using the same address and none
paying any property-taxes! The
same lawsuit also challenged Meck’s request for nine-more acres so he could
establish, in seasonal wetlands, six-open-pit ‘settling-ponds’ to store IN EACH POND
upwards to 50,000 gallons of ‘raw-human-toxic-sewage’,
plus establish 100,000 gallon storage tanks for a ‘tank farm’! All toll
about 1.5 MILLION GALLONS of Snowshoe & Silver Creek ‘sewage’ would be stored across the
road from the Green
Bank Senior
Citizens Center,
a new Medical facility, and a proposed new restaurant! The Idea for establishing the ‘Sewage-Pits’ originated & was
endorsed by both the GVEDC & the county
Chamber of Commerce!
With nefarious ‘economic development’
such as this – who needs anymore enemies stealing land & money from Pocahontas County?
And the real irony is that the Chamber
of Commerce is supposed to support ‘TOURISM’ – that is supposed to ‘enrich’ us all, right! Well
perhaps member Kenneth ‘Buster’
Varner, who is rumored to own more businesses in Durbin than all other
businesses combined, plus is the titular Agent of the ‘Latino Immigrant Reservation’, similar
to an ‘Indian Reservation Agent’,
for Buster’s close association & work in housing & transporting Latino
workers to both Snowshoe & Silver Creek, and to Intrastate Lumber, etc. –
perhaps THAT is what is meant by ‘creating
jobs’ here in Pocahontas County! Bring in foreigners and leave locals JOBLESS! And this is the same ‘Buster’ that sat on his hands as a member of the county solid
waste authority while his neighbors were being sued by a collections-agency
hired by Ed Riley, also of the solid waste authority!
Yet according to the exhibits
filed in the recent Citizen-Taxpayer lawsuit, when all is said & done, the GVEDC will have sucked in excess of $1.5 Million from
this county in the form of an ‘annual membership fee’, combined rental income
for all county-land under their control already, ‘maintenance fees’ under GVEDC
control, and ‘grants
for feasibility studies’, etc.!
IF the GVEDC has its way, it will do the same to Marlinton that is has
done in Frank, Green Bank, Edray and elsewhere so far! Gain control – charge rent – and take the
funds to Greenbrier
County to hold their
parties & wine & dine the likes of ‘Chicken-Little
& Billy-Bob’. And we all know
who the ‘bagmen’ are by now, none
other than banker Phillip Cain & his sidekick Joel Callison of the ‘Dean/Callison Gang’! Since these two have been at it for over 25
years so far – they are the real titular heads of the ‘Poverty Preservation Society’ for everyone else but themselves!
However, ‘JUDGMENT DAY COMETH’ – the state law requires
the GVEDC to pay all those taxes – so having
NORMAN LEE ALDERMAN (Rep-SD) & PATTI HEINEMANN (Dem-ND) elected in May
& again in November should create quite an historical event at the first
meeting of the new county commission in January 2015!
Let’s make the first meeting a ‘Day of Celebration’
as a local Honest Government is restored!
Consider this:
► Who wouldn’t like to see Phil Cain & Joel
Callison &
other members answer questions regarding the
GVEDC and its theft of
county-land & funds?
► Who wouldn’t like to see Ed Riley & other
members
answer questions regarding the county solid waste
authority and its illegal lawsuits & Abstract of
Judgment Liens?
► Who wouldn’t like to see Reta Griffith, as
General
Manager of Frontier Communications, answer
questions as to why Frontier has a
monopoly in this
county, its egregious overcharging, &
poor service?
► Who wouldn’t like to see top officials of
Snowshoe
answer questions regarding their
request for the
designation of a RAD – and the real reasons
behind
it? …and…
► Who wouldn’t like to see top federal
officials
answer questions regarding their real
reasons to
establish a new federal park here in
this county
called, ‘The Birthplace of Rivers National
Monument’?
Image just what a Moral, Honest
& Righteous county commission can do to STOP ‘THE POVERTY PRESERVATION SOCIETY’
in this county and appoint a new Pocahontas
County Economic
Development Authority (PCDA) as authorized by State Law – staffed with honest Folks!
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!
