I was extremely sadden by the picture of the starved dog (Feb. 2).  Were those who lived near her not aware of the dog? Why didn’t they alert animal control?  The woman claimed she could not afford dog food; why not turn the poor dog over to animal control or Fairfield adoption?  This is the […]

Am I surprised that I recently received a certified response from the Jenkinsville Water Company to my FOIA request? Yes I am! Am I surprised that most of my request was completely denied with semantics and misleading information? Absolutely not! I asked simply and directly for the same information that board member Preston Peach was, […]

Alert the news media. Notify Guinness records. Call your friends and neighbors. We have a new attraction in Fairfield County – the Magic Truck owned by the Jenkinsville Water Company President. The Magic Truck had previously demonstrated its special properties by teleporting $10,000 in JWC deposits to who knows where. However, The Magic Truck’s most […]

“We need more money.” This succinct battle cry has become the all too often excuse of underperforming government agencies seeking to avoid accountability. For example, the S.C.

I started school there and remember my daddy, who was a carpenter, helping to build the gym. I remember good times […]

Our County Council tells us they are putting a band aid on the problem by increasing salaries to just what other counties pay for life saving services. Stop! Do the surgery now, and save us the money of playing catch-up when they leave because some other county offered just a bit more. We get what […]

We now have a new standard for absurd excuses from Fairfield’s County Council. Monday past, two council members, incredibly, blamed the citizenry for Council’s two year failure to address the county’s Safety Teams’ staffing crisis. That’s right, the citizens, are at fault for not giving our Safety Teams appropriately competitive salaries, thus, creating dangerously low […]

I grew up in the Dark Corner of Fairfield County and my husband, Jimmy, and I currently live in Feasterville. I love my district and would love to serve the residents of District 3 as their County Council member. If elected I will have several priorities. We need better pay for our EMS paramedics so […]
