Pike County commissioners voted 3-1 to postpone the approval or denial of a $2,670,000 agreement with John W. Spratlin and Son of Lincolnton for the renovation and addition to the historic 1895 courthouse until the Jan. 11 meeting. Negotiations reduced the original bid by $325,000. To read more about the negotiations and choices the board has, read the Dec. 21 edition of the Journal Reporter.
The Pike County school board will provide space for the Superior Court Clerk’s office to hold court while the historic courthouse is renovated. Several areas of the alternative school off Highway 19 will be used at no cost to the county to hold court when needed. The school agreed to provide the old library space as a courtroom as well as areas for a jury room, jury assembly room, grand jury room and judges quarters.
We deserve a answer now!
IN GOD WE TRUST
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong
I am invincible.
Many Thanks to Helen Reddy.
IN SHEILA I TRUST
HOLD HANDS AND GET R DONE
CASE CLOSED
You people who have no regard for history and trees are sickening.
MOVE PIKE FORWARD
Gum Bumping....maybe a new Olympic Event.
They may need to check on into a nursing home since they do not know their own name.
They are actually quite pitiful. Sneaking around to get on the computer when no one is looking.
Sad.
I have more people email me for voting advice in Pike, than A-no-no can count.
My people have names.
I do believe if the current two female commissioners had been on board at the time.....that they would not have been able to override the "NO" vote that they had already received.
JOHN YOU ARE NO POLITICAL MAGNET
