What is needed in Southeast RALEIGH

1) Why are so many unemployed?
The economy over the last to years has not gotten any better. In fact it has gotten even worse for black Americans. CBS News reported in June that it has risen to 16 percent for black Americans and even higher for black males. This is approaching Depression level unemployment if it isn't already there. And despite what some are saying like Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) are saying, Racism is not the cause. Too many people of all ethnic and races have been very successful in life. And many of them more successful than even myself. Ending the cycle of dependency on the government for every person who can take care of themselves. And the best way to do this is to vote out of office every single politician who advocates for a continued cycle of dependency on the government.

2)What is up with record debt in Raleigh?
The city's total debt is $1.38 billion, four times the amount it had a decade ago as reported by The News and Observer. Wow, four times what it was when Mayor Meeker took office. And whether you will vote or yes or no matters during the October 11th election. Look for more bonds on the ballot. It is for things we may need, but it adding to the burden of our children and grandchildren the best way? You have a chance to voice your opinion at the ballot box on October 11th.
3)What about better sheltered and oragnized bus stops? What about additional buses on the routes where they are needed? Where can we get the money?
Have you seen a elederly couple or a mother with her children standing out in the 100 degree heat of the day or pouring down rain? I have and it can be corrected. For the most part public bus stops consist of a small bus stop sign on top of a metal pole sticking out of the ground near the street. And you are lucky to have a non covered bench or if it is it can seat maybe 4 people. Just to let you know the city is spending $202,000 on art this year. And that does not include the money that has to be spent on art when building a new complex like a future Lightner Safety Center, that would be $705,000. I would like to know where are the priorities of those who support this? 
I want everyone know who reads this that I will not take you for granted and I will work to earn and keep your trust on the Raleigh City Council. isn't it time we are honest with the people of Raleigh and District C. We need leaders who are willing to get into the neighborhoods to found out how Raleigh can help and to find out how Raleigh can get out of the way. Please consider Paul Terrell when voting on October 11th.

Hello, I am Paul Terrell and here is who I am.

My name of Paul Terrell and I am a ten year resident of North Carolina and this Raleigh City Council District. I have worked for Cree, Inc. the LED Light maker for 9 years and enjoying every bit of it. I am a college graduate of Old Dominion University and a veteran of the United States Army.

I am married to Loretta with one wonderful and adorable daughter. We enjoy our neighbors and everyone we meet in and around us are kind and courteous.

And this is the reason I am running. I want every voice to be heard and I want constituents who know that their voices will be heard. I want the voters to elect their representative, not the politicians select their voters. With the growing debt and lack of public services like transportation, district C has been neglected. I want to satisfy the public needs while paying off of our debts. We can do that.

Please take a look at my web site and donate if you would like to help me. There are 5 people in this election and even $20 to pay for postage of $50 to help pay for signs will be a great help to our campaign.

Thanks again,
