It’s election time and Fairfield’s Elitists are scrambling to consolidate their power in reaction to the high quality opposing Council candidates who have volunteered to cater to the people instead of the powerful. We clearly understand the Power Elites’ feverous desire to maintain the status quo in the upcoming Council election. Certainly, keeping the Council […]
Support Smith
October 24, 2014 By
I have already cast my ballot, absentee, if the Fairfield County Council race for District 7. I’m pleased to say that I voted for Billy Smith and am in full support of his candidacy. I have known all the candidates in this race for quite some time, and, of them all, I know Billy would […]
Vote for Smith
October 17, 2014 By
Late Sunday night, I was told about my current Fairfield County Council member, David Brown, endorsing Clyde Sanders in the District 7 race for County Council. I don’t do Facebook, but I understand that’s where the endorsement originated. The endorsement mentioned that Mr. Sanders is his own thinker and isn’t part of a shadow group, […]
Sign Language
October 17, 2014 By
In your article about the Council’s decision to erect a sign for the Visitor Center, Arts Center, and Chamber of Commerce you failed to mention a significant fact. Since Sandy Kahn was the applicant Mr. Meggs was correct that the proposed sign was not exempt from the sign regulations because it was not being erected […]
Incumbents Must Go
October 17, 2014 By
On Nov. 4 “We the people . . .” of Fairfield County will have the opportunity to show County Council incumbents our disapproval of their taking our County in the wrong direction. We have challenger candidates who are competent, well-informed, qualified individuals with the ability to make good decisions for the future of all citizens. […]
Gaddy for Sanders
October 17, 2014 By
On Nov. 4, Fairfield County citizens living in District 7 will have a unique and important opportunity. With the decision of Councilman David Brown to not seek re-election, for the first time since I have lived in Winnsboro, there will not be an incumbent running to represent District 7 on County Council. Mr. Brown has […]
He Was Wrong
October 17, 2014 By
During the Sept. 29 County Council meeting, the Councilman from District 1 asserted that this all (meaning the opposition to Council’s behavior) began with the allegations regarding the previous Administrator’s misuse of his county computer, which was made public in April of 2013. I’d like to correct the Councilman’s misunderstanding of the facts. In 2011, […]
Brown for Sanders
October 17, 2014 By
When I chose not to run for re-election, I was interviewed by The Voice newspaper and they asked who I was endorsing. My response at that time was that I wasn’t endorsing any candidate, but I definitely wasn’t going to endorse someone backed by any special interest groups. In the time since, I have spent a […]
Spend Smarter
October 17, 2014 By
I respectfully object to Fairfield County Council’s view that we must reduce services in order to reduce our high property taxes. Our county squanders millions of dollars (i.e. Drawdy Park, FFC, LOST monies and exorbitant Council pay) every year due to its inability to run an effective and efficient government. In fact, a well-run county […]
Lewis for Sheriff
October 10, 2014 By
By way of introduction, I am a retired Assistant Director with SLED and I have known and worked along side Keith Lewis for more than 30 years, having met him early in his and my career. I knew then that with his work ethic he was going places. I was so pleased when he offered […]
