NEW JUDGES: FRED GIGGENBACH & ROBERT E. RICHARDSON’
The
POCAHONTAS CRIER
‘When the Righteous succeed the
people rejoice,
But when the bad govern, men groan!’
– Proverbs 29:2
‘TIME FOR
NEW JUDGES: FRED GIGGENBACH &
ROBERT E. RICHARDSON’!
Much to the joy of the people but
chagrin to the ‘good-ole-boy’
network, 11th Circuit Court Judge James Rowe has resigned and is not
going to run again for his current position as judge over Greenbrier &
Pocahontas Counties! During the infamous
tenure of former-Judge Rowe, his leniency towards corrupt government officials,
towards sex-offenders, and his ludicrous decisions on behalf of the Pocahontas
County Solid Waste Authority (PCSWA), as well as his decisions AGAINST LOCAL
SENIOR CITIZENS in manufactured cases charged with various allegations upon
which there were absolutely NO ADMISSIBLE EVIDENCE – all combined to make Rowe
one of the worst judicial officials ever to sit on the bench for any circuit
court here in West Virginia! His ersatz
record is only matched by that of ex-Judge Joseph Pomponio, Jr. who also ‘retired’ and left the county within the
past year or so! Both of these two men
simply chose to COLLECT COURT
COSTS instead of dismissing improper cases and ruling in any type of judicial or honest manner!
THEREFORE
WE AS A PEOPLE AND CITIZENS WITHIN THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF WEST VIRGINIA CAN VOTE
TO REPLACE BOTH ROWE & POMPONIO THIS ELECTION CYCLE IN THE PRIMARY
ELECTION! THERE IS NO GENERAL ELECTION
FOR CIRCUIT COURT JUDGES ANYMORE SINCE ALL JUDGES ARE NOW RUNNING AS
NONPARTISAN CANDIDATES – therefore our choice must be positive on Primary
Election Day !
THUS LET’S (RE)-ELECT
CURRENT JUDGE ROBERT E. RICHARDSON WHO REPLACED POMPONIO – AND LET’S ELECT
FRED GIGGENBACH TO REPLACE ROWE!
What makes current Judge Robert E. Richardson stand out is
the fact that he has held the deceitful Pocahontas County Solid Waste Authority
(PCSWA) to the letter of the law and DISMISSED ALL THE LAWSUITS FILED BY THE
PCSWA against the Citizens of Pocahontas County, mostly Senior Citizens to
date! At the
current time, the PCSWA has filed civil lawsuits against close to ONE-THIRD, or
about 1000 Citizen Households in Pocahontas County, for not paying an arbitrary
‘green-box-fee’ assessed against EACH
HOUSEHOLD, whether the landfill is used or not, instead
of following the State Law and assessing solid waste fees by WEIGHT, VOLUME
& USAGE as defined by State Law whenever solid waste is taken to a landfill! And while State Law sets forth SIX METHODS of
solid waste disposal, only two of which require ‘fees’, and FOUR METHODS that EXEMPT a
person from any ‘fees’ – the
PCSWA has ignored all provisions that EXEMPT PERSONS from the proper disposal
of solid waste! These cumulative issues
are being brought before Judge Richardson at this time – BUT WHAT JUDGE
RICHARDSON HAS ALREADY DONE is DISMISS all the cases brought by the PCSWA when
they filed ‘collection cases’ against
hundreds of Citizen Households at one time – while only paying for ONE FILING
FEE – thereby trying to shift the financial burden upon the backs of the
Citizen-Taxpayers for all the court costs!

One of the worst
decisions ever made by an alleged ‘judge’,
who took an ‘Oath’ to uphold the
laws, was the one made by former Judge James Rowe in the Pocahontas County
Solid Waste cases whereby Rowe claimed that a CITY ORDINANCE in Princeton, WV, City of Princeton v. Stamper, 195
W.Va. 685, 466 S.E.2d 536 (1995), whereby ‘every
household in the municipal limit’ of the City of Princeton was required to
pay a garbage-fee for disposal of solid waste picked up at the curb of their
household – WAS SOMEHOW ALSO APPLICABLE TO POCAHONTAS COUNTY – when even a
legal student on his first day in law school knows, or should know by then, THAT MUNICIPLAL
ORDINANCES ONLY APPLY TO THE MUNICIPALITY INVOLVED AND NO ONE ELSE!
When this same question was recently asked of candidate
FRED GIGGENBACH – he was shocked that a sitting judge would make such a ruling
and JUDGE CANDIDATE GIGGENBACH stated emphatically that HE WOULD NEVER HAVE
MADE SUCH A RULING – AND THAT IF THAT SAME MATTER WAS BROUGHT BEFORE HIS COURT
– THAT HE WOULD RULE PROPERLY ACCORDING TO THE LAW!
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ‘WE
THE PEOPLE’ TO CHOOSE TWO HONEST EDUCATED PERSONS TO BECOME NEW JUDGES FOR
THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR POCAHONTAS COUNTY – LET US DO SO BY ELECTING –
ROBERT E. RICHARDSON
&
FRED GIGGENBACH
on 10 MAY 2016!
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER…WE ALL REAP WHAT WE HAVE
SOWN…& then some!

Riders are gone, yet they remain asleep in our soil,
