When the full commission and staff would gather for breakfast or lunch, David and Walter would quietly slip $100 bills under their plates to be shared by the wait staff and cooks. <br /><br />This often brought tears to young mothers and college students working in the 20 coastal counties of North Carolina. David and Walter set high standards for the rest of us.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17267940347229348626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-51603586124460255882015-11-25T20:01:50.891-05:002015-11-25T20:01:50.891-05:00I have used this recipe for several years.

Not a single new public company has created a single job. The only jobs generated by this misguided crew is for lobbyists and lawyers in Raleigh and Washington DC. Stanly County is now too toxic to compete effectively for new industries to support a an increasingly needy population.<br />2) Stanly County has closed a scholl (last year) and is currently dismantling their school system because they are out of money. The money wasted on the ALCOA farce could be used to buffer the current shortfall until the economy improves and educate children to more effectively compete in the 21st century.<br />3) Jack, you need to lose your tree-hugger attitudes about putative wilderness close to Charlotte and cover this story which about equipping the people of Stanly County for the future instead of providing limousine liberal tripe as you wax poetic over "nature"and the "environment" at the expense of the lives of others.<br />Mack MabryMack Mabrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-736829228107240432011-05-06T11:26:52.475-04:002011-05-06T11:26:52.475-04:00Among the presidents we elected back when poll wor...Among the presidents we elected back when poll workers actually asked for ID and there was no early voting are a decent Democrat (JFK), a decent Republican (Reagan), a couple of awful Democrats (Carter, LBJ), and a couple of awful Republicans (Nixon, W).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22040291.post-90631361522417330172011-05-06T06:59:43.875-04:002011-05-06T06:59:43.875-04:00Have you been to the Dr's office lately?
