waited until we had enough money to buy a house, I'm
afraid we'd still be living in tents, It's simply not
feasible. How many people in here have never gone to a
savings and loan or a bank and borrowed money? It's
just not possible today to save $100,000 before you buy
your home or even $25,000 or $30,000 for the average
working man. Is this that we are talking about any different
than buying a home?
87% of the people of Iredell County are employed.
I prefer to look at it that way. What we're talking about
is paying our own way. We can pay for these hospitals
our own way without selling the hospitals or without
whatever other steps necessary by defeating these hospitals.
But let me say this, we have got to be on the ballot and
present the facts to the people in November to get this
done. We feel that the facts will stand for themselves,
but we have to be able to present them to the people on
the ballot. That's wh y we're asking the commissioners
to allow us to be on the ballot in November --to present
the facts because we feel that the facts will stand for
themselves and that when you study these situations and
when you study these figures you will agree as many people
have on a purely voluntary basis, the bond issue is for
Iredell County. All we want is to decide it with the
voters in November.
Thank you.
