Gwen Burton Speaks on the city's lawsuit
We know you've heard the old saying...things that make you go hmmm. Here's another one for you.
Councilwoman Gwen Burton remarked that even though jobs would be created by Sanderson Farms a poultry business looking to build in neighboring Nash County, she believes "the natural resources of Wilson are even more important." Now that's an interesting thought and definitely qualifies as something to make you go... hmmm.
Burton went on to say, "Water, like air, is necessary to life, both of human beings and communities. Wilson has invested many millions of dollars to establish a reliable supply of water. That water supply and our watershed must be protected. It is worth fighting for." And that's a comment worth examining.

Wilson is Walking Tall the Movie - Part II . . . The Follow-Up
A GLORIOUS AND HISTORIC DAY AS WELL AS A DISHEARTENING AND SAD DAY IN WILSON COUNTY POLITICS on DECEMBER 6, 2010
"I stood on the courthouse steps and watched with great pride as Calvin Woodard was sworn in as our new sheriff Monday, December 6th, 2010. It was a glorious and historic day for our county as a 28 year reign of "special interest, backdoor dealing, good ole boyism and political patronage" had finally come to an end. A new start, a new sheriff with honor, integrity and dignity to restore the tarnish that had come to represent the sacred office of Wilson County Sheriff."

Simplifying Sanderson Farms
While Nash County and the City of Wilson continue the debate of a similar proposal, on a more positive note take a look at the new facility in Kinston opening in January. OK, here's a little something to think about folks. Do you really believe if this company had not complied with all federal, state and local rules, regulations and certifications the State of NC would be allowing them to open, let alone operate a poultry plant in a neighboring eastern NC town. We're just asking. And giving you something to chew on for a minute.
You know, Folks are not as dumb as some folks think or want them to be. FEAR... False Evidence Appearing Real is what happens when you rely on others to think for you. It runs rampant and takes you so far out left field you lose sight of the facts. Don't allow emotions and erroneous information to overcome you and hold you captive. Do your own research and draw your own conclusion. Don't be fed COW manure for chicken feed. Read more

A Scumbag... Such Language Is Unbecoming
No need to ask whatever happened to civilty in the exchange of "agreeing to disagree." Times have "a changed" in these here parts and folks have become down right mean-spirited with ill-intent and it shows.
Do you remember the song, "every move you make, every breath you take, I'll be watching you?" Ironically, it was a very popular tune back in the day, sung by a vocal group called "The Police." With no pun intended, it seems to be a lot of Wilsonians are taking that position when it comes to the new sheriff in town.
