Leadership Through Smaller Government

Welcome to the new davidrichard.info!

"It's time we take government out of the daily lives of the people, and return control to them".

As an elected official serving the people of Forsyth County, I think it is my duty to make sure you know my views on issues that come before the Board of Commissioners.
 
This site will be regularly updated to let you know how I intend to vote on issues, and more importantly, my reasons why.  As residents and taxpayers, you deserve to know these answers to your questions.
 
Check back frequently, and let me know how good or bad I'm doing as your elected official.  After all, it's your right to know.

How many more times can Jim Harrell open his mouth and insert his foot?

As many times as possible.

Read about Mr. "Professional Board" by clicking on Meeting Notes below regarding the firing of former county manager Rhonda O'Connor this evening.

Frankly, I can't wait to see how he justifies giving away money WE DON'T HAVE to Taubman the next time it comes up.

Question - How is Charlie Laughinghouse worse than Jack Conway?

Answer - Jack Conway thwarted the will of the MINORITY. Charlie Laughinghouse thwarts the will of a MAJORITY of county commissioners.

Nothing screams lack of leadership when a sitting commission chairman pulls a parliamentary stunt in the middle of another personnel issue of his making. When his time is over as commissioner and chairman, history will record a stunning lack of principle and leadership that marked his tenure, including a lack of fiscal conservatism and an inability to handle personnel matters in a quiet and responsible manner.

If you want to see two commissioners sticking their heads in the sand, watch Jim Harrell and Charlie Laughinghouse this week. Their focus on how we are perceived over the reality of this situation is remarkable. If you want to know the WHOLE story regarding the reasons why Rhonda O'Connor can't continue as county manager, read my take on this by clicking on the Hot Topics text below.

An interesting set of questions on Campaign Corner

For all of you who still care about the future of Forsyth County, you need to read these questions and their associated answers before voting on Tuesday. Your County Commission is about to be bought and paid for during the next 4 years if you don't wake up, and fast!

Forsyth County has just elected a serial liar onto their BOC

And I hope they like what they get. Read about what complacency got Forsyth County earlier this evening by clicking the link below. It's not a pretty picture. Nothing is with Patrick Bell in government.

Maybe Flack can beat him in November.

Final Campaign Corner before the July 15th primary

Random campaign thoughts before the primary on July 15th. I can't wait for the voting to be over, because I need some well-deserved rest. Click below to take you to Campaign Corner.

p.s. Also note the picture of the violation of private property Mr. Clean Campaign, Patrick Bell and his supporters have done to three of four large signs in the south part of the county. Not only do they destroy my property, they go on private property without permission do perform their destruction. They've also stolen my signs and poles from other property across the county.

What an example of a "clean campaign". Lies and violations of private property. Great qualities in a leader, aren't they?
