I laugh and loved the real americans versus 'suits' comments. so true. real america sat on the left. the business 'suits' sat on the right side. but they were small in numbers. very few 'citizens'.. and boy, once they talked.. they got out of there.. at least 'real america' and 'real nash county' stayed. the commissioners voting 'for' just made another opportunity.. photo op. for andre knight of rocky mount to use in his future election campaigns... ruining rocky mount.. now trying to ruin nash county... hats off to southern nash people for sticking in there... con ward put much effort in.. i wish his efforts could be rewarded with some tangible results.. if not.. how about a 'victory' rally in southern nash county anyway..?? I'd like that.. we may have lost that vote.. but we won on integrity and being true working class americans. still think sanderson should be located directly across from robbie davis' red oak property at dortches.

The "Slaughterhouse Five" showed their true colors last night. Belfield said he would be concerned if Sanderson was evading a full environmental study, by agreeing to pay for the infrastructure to the plant and asking for no State incentives. Of course, I'm sure the fact that Nash will pay incentives for 15 years instead of 10 will be a backdoor way to pay Sanderson back. Did he delay the vote to find out? No, he was the one to second Danny Tyson's motion to vote for the incentive package. Commissioner Wayne Outlaw's motion to delay the vote until the Wilson offer was discussed and to find out if FTE meant full time equivalent (which could mean 2 p/t employees instead of 1 full time) that was in Sanderson's agreement to bring 1100 FTE's. was turned down quickly by all but Billy Morgan.

Until Nash County can get new leadership and get rid of Robbie Davis, Mary Wells, Lou Richardson, and Fred Belfield, it's a lost cause. They are too controlled by the "Good Ole Boys" in Rocky Mount and business goes on as usual. You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours mentality. Not what's best for the County! At least, we will soon be rid of Danny Tyson.

God bless Wayne Outlaw and Billy Morgan for standing up for the citizens in the County.

Chicken houses can be 50 feet, that is about 5 car lengths,close to your house or the water you drink....The 5 commissioners who voted for this atrocity should be tarred and feathered. They took away all the regulations, rezoned the land and have now have donated taxpayer paid land to Sanderson Farms...and a 40% reduction on the taxes...very nice. If they had only put that towards education and teachers, training for their unemployed it would have been better spent. In five years from now, the pro job bunch will be bitching about higher taxes and the stench in the air. Hope you remember who fought for your environment.

public comment. you had overwhelming number of people against with a small number of corporate suits for. not many 'citizens' there in support. that short little black idion on the commissioner board: ranted and raved about that kenneth pledger,.. kennethpledger fellow.. who does he think he is talking racism in this meeting... and Pledger? well pledger just spoke abount councilman andre night who had just injected racism into the meeting thru his comments and quickly ran out the door of the meeting... Pledger also commented that it was not the nash county commissioners who ruined rocky mount.. it was the majority city council and one before it that ruined rocky mount... now beelfelld, the commissioner... had just ten minutes earlier admonished the crowd for making negative comments and sounds after someone would speak.. and that the meeting should be closed down if they continued... Two other people... mentioned Andre Knights' name and opposiiton to him.. Belfeeld didn't say anything at all about that.. reverse racism needs to be dealt with and thrown to pasture... including Belfield and Knight.. belfield.. what a joke--go have lunch with Andre. Southern Nash? keep it up.
