This exactly why Pike County needs a Animal Control Facility.

Why isn't the PC Journal telling us how they voted?
Why isn't it noted in this article that the City of Zebulon offered to let them use space in the CZ complex while the court house is repaired?
Enjoy it while you can fellows. It won't be long now. I would go ahead and brush up on your resume skills.
The BOC and County Manager just got their Christmas bonus.
How is your Christmas bonus? Don't forget taxes due December 20th.
1. Who is the 'lucky' property owner(s) receiving a 'windfall' in this depressed real estate market?
2. How much money is the 'lucky property owner(s) going to receive in the 'windfall'?
3. Are there sufficient reserves on hand?
4. The 'future"....how long in the future?
5. Are there any conflicts?
Back from 'Nooga!

Would love for you to research Call N. Alcars questions and provide answers in the follow-up. Property deeds are public record, shouldn't be hard to find out who owns the property currently.
I read in the paper today that he didn't understand the SPLOST lesson that he just got taught.
I can only imagine that poor Don has already begun suffering from Alzheimer's or Dimentia since his memory is so short; or, perhaps he was one of the many bloggers telling us "We'll get you my pretties" (imagine Don as the Wicked Witch of the West for that quote.
Pike county citizens remember that this BOC has promised to spend:
$1 million to fund a private company (Yancey Brothers)
$4.5 million amounts on a new judicial complex that isn't needed or required despite their continued assertions that the mean old Judiciary is forcing them to do it.
Not to mention that they've created an 8 month budget that is as much as last years 12 month budget.
FIRE THEM ALL NOW!!!!
Oh, I did save money last night, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
Happy Thanksgiving
Copy and paste the above Tiny URl to view property in that area.
Without having more information, it could be assumed the property to be purchased will not be the 2.75 acres owned by Pike County BOE valued at $4,466 and sitting across from The Chandler Building.
Is this the old school type building? I ask because I am not familiar with the area, although my dear old Ma lives close enough to that old building it could be reached by a run-of- the-mill Palestinian rock chunker.
Adjacent to the 2.75 acre Pike County BOE property is 2.4 acres owned by Mr. Dunn valued at $91, 500. Adjacent to the Dunn property next to the church property is 2.1 acres owned by Walker Chandler and Ruth Chandler valued at $80,400. Could the Chandlers be the lucky property sellers? I don't recall seeing FOR SALE signs posted out on Hwy 19 S.
There is a nice empty parcel for sale behind the Pike County Bank.
How much space is required for the future Judicial Center?
Could existing Pike County BOE property be utilized for future expansion?
When viewing the parcel maps, bear in mind the Dunn property sits between the Pike County BOE property and the Chandler property.
Is that property next to be purchased so Pike County can own all the property up to the cemetery?
I know, I know, I am not a Pike resident, but, my dear Mother does live in Zebulon. Also, I don't stay at any Holiday Inn Express Hotels.

Sometimes a helper
I hope you can tell me this is false information.
And those of you who wanted the SPLOST. It was the commissioners that caused it to be voted down. If they were doing the job they were elected for instead of schmoozing with the business executives from Yancey, and doing uneccessary projects you would have a SPLOST for the judicial complex.
They are either planning for their future, or getting what they can now at the expense of the Pike County Tax payer.
Look at the past commissioners there are to many people that don't remember when we had farmers in there. Joseph Chapman voted no on a raise for the them. (The Commissioners)
He said we are here to represent the people of the county, and not for our own benefit.
Heck! I think these we see are taking lessons from Obama! Promise the world and deliver a bill from H-E- double hockey sticks! In the form of taxes.
Be careful you could tick off the wrong people!
I sure have! But they don't like the truth!
Your 100% right! Stand your ground!
This looks like a very good investigative report the PC Journal could do for the citizens of Pike County.
Buying land now will save money later, whether it's months or years when a new judicial center is built. The plans for the thing have been around for some time now, and people have talked about the need for it. I just hope the BOC eventually acquires enough land to have a suitable jail build on the same space. Both are a gavel bang from being built anyway.
All this will get done, as it should, and everyone will forget about it. Some will clamor for a recall that will never, ever happen. I even predict that not one commissioner will lose his seat over this. So get ready fellow citizens. We're all going to tote this bill for a long, long time.
I will say this, I will not vote for a single incumbent on the BOC.
The old days are over. We heard this Chapman story too many times.
J T and nobody else are out to get you. Go to bed and get some sleep.

If Margie Trammell had of unseated Tommy Insurance Powers.
If Roosevelt Willis had not dumped a non-qualified Code Enforcer Officer of the law on Hilltop.
If the Carpetbagger had not found $30,000 in cash in a brown papersack (which was never deposited in the county account).
Then we would not have this mess with SPLOST, the pipeline, the surprise land deal which no one knew about. The BOC lied, Marro lied. They knew what they were doing for themselves.
Time to give the sleeze masters the boot.
Don't forget your 8 month taxes are due December 20th.

Daddy always said the truth hurt no one.
Who sadi voting down SPLOST who teach them a lesson. I dont see one being learned.
Parrish is between the Marro and the hard place.
If he tells you he is not employed with Jones then he lied after a BOC meeting while sporting their work shirt. Maybe the boy just can't tell the truth and that would be understandable since he learned it from the Master Marro.
Hum? I wonder if they have Executive Sessions at Jones Petroleum. I sure hope so because Swifts are coming to a fast close here.
You will find out the truth, looks like Parrish would tell you rather than sweating a reporter digging into it.
Why couldn't they rent the Giant Mart until the court house is restored?
They aren't interested in doing what the people want (and for dear old Don Collins that's SPEND LESS MONEY!!). They are only apparently interested is wasting our money.
Any more questions?
Don't mean to put words in your mouth Shiela, but that was what I meant when I agreed.
Lawsuits are coming.
The Polecat said so and I believe it.
If the Polecat does not like what you say on any site or blog that they cannot delete then you will be sued and sent to jail.
Hummmmm, a womens prison might not be to bad.
