How Much Money Did You Say Wayne Gay Got

Pardon us for saying but this is one "Damn Doozy" of a story... And it's gonna take you a while to get through it. Just in case you haven't read it. After several requests of readers asking us to put it on the blog, we all agreed we needed to make it happen. So here you go. You're gonna need some time to get through this one. Ordinarily, we wouldn't put an article this lengthy on the blog...but since so many of you have asked we wanted to honor your request. The article is called Pay Hike & Politics written by Wilson Times staff writer Janet conner-Knox.

Abandoned Airplane... That's Interesting

Wilson Co., Nash Co., and Sanderson Farms

Wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars on a whim or protecting the people and the property. However you view it some Wilsonians are not happy about the city's decision to invest up to a million dollars to fight Sanderson Farms and Nash County in a lawsuit concerning their effort to bring jobs to the region.

And speaking of chicken...didn't the City of Wilson's elected officials also deny a chicken based business to open a restaurant in Wilson off "Restaurant Row" near Wolfe Trapp subdivision? Zaxby's wanted to come and bring employment and a revenue base to the community and was also denied. So...What's the real deal when it comes to Wilson, NC and chickens?

Alonzo Braggs NAACP Farewell Address

"When I entered the army and reached the point where I began to seek advancement, I heard one of the old sergeants tell a story that perhaps had been passed down through the ranks. The story talks about a young soldier who went before the promotion board and after knocking rather loudly on the door, he burst in, walked to the center of the room, saluted, and following instructions to be seated, he picked up the chair, flung it across the room and stated; “I did not come in here to sit down, I came to seek opportunities to assume greater responsibility, and do greater things for others.”

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to the Annual Meeting of the Wilson Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Today marks the beginning in a change of leadership within the community regarding the NAACP.

There are times when change is really good. Take for instance the change we will partake when the new sheriff  is sworn in. The community worked together to bring about the change we wanted to see and it worked for the good of the community.

So Now You Get Mad

So Now You Get Mad . . .
This is a repost of an email forward making the rounds.

We had eight years of  Bush and Cheney, but now you get mad!

You didn’t get mad when the Supreme Court stopped a legal recount and appointed a President.

You didn’t get mad when Cheney allowed Energy company officials to dictate energy policy.

You didn’t get mad when a covert CIA operative had her cover blown simply for contradicting Dick Cheney.
