that 57% of the people of Iredell County would support
a bond issue. So the Concerned Taxpayers have started
taking their own poll, and so far we have talked to
1200 people. We are going to poll everybody in Iredell
County. Later on, I'll tell you the results of that
poll.
But first, I thought it was interesting to hear
some of the remarks that some of these people made
about our present board of commissioners. Let me
read some of them to you.
"This is the best board we ever had."
"Iredell County is lucky to have people like this
on this board."
"Sam Ostwalt is not a politican, he's a statesman."
"Frances Murdock is a smart lady."
"Our county commissioners went over the 1982 budget
with a fine-tooth comb."
And they really did. This is the 1982 budget. $15
million. The only debt on it is on the old hospital
bond that we haven't paid off yet. Here we're talking
about new debts, and we haven't paid the old one off.
"Joe Troutman will do everything he can to keep
taxes down." These are some of the remarks that we heard.
"Bill Mills is smart and he's a honest man."
