Proposed Sales Tax Hike
Mr. Robinson, After reading your blog piece on the County’s proposed
sales tax hike, I would offer a few comments: There has been much
revisionist history about the jail, like the statement “It was built to
last 25 years, and it has cast iron pipes.” I’m sure the local
officials who approved the design would disagree, and I guess some
people today think the pipes should be plastic. When the jail was
designed and built in 1982 it was “state of the art” and the only type
of facility that the state and local officials could or would approve.
(check the names on the bronze placque in the entrance) There have been

when rebates brought the consumer price down to $33,500 (which is still
horribly... Read

| FROM
THE EDITOR... ON THE INSIDE - TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15,
2012 |
I’m
getting plenty of feedback on Monday’s column, “Not Always Right, but
Never Wrong.” For a variety of reasons, they were FYI (ie not for
publication). Posted today, however, is a Letter to the Editor. Name is
being withheld, but I have gotten verification from the author, per CNO
policy. It offers some food for thought. And I also have a response
from Mike Stegall. You’ll see that Thursday. Also in News: Greenville Fire Deparment... Structure Fire at Fram; and Rasmussen: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls.
