How do you feel about the Bonds on the ballot in October?

As reported in the Midtown Raleigh News the voters will have a chance to vote on two separate bonds.

On the Oct. 11 ballot, the city will ask Raleigh voters to approve $40 million in transportation bonds and $16 million in housing bonds. The items will be voted on separately.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

Approval of both bond proposals, totaling $56 million, would translate into an annual property tax increase of $17.11 on a residential property valued at $188,139, the median-priced assessment for Raleigh homes.

Passage of just the $16 million housing proposal would mean an increase of $5.26 on an annual tax bill.

And to clarify any confusion whether you support these bonds of not, they will raise your taxes if passed. Please let me know how you feel. E-mail is pterrelliii@nc.rr.com

Costs of Government

In these tough economic times many people feel that government salaries and benefits are too high.

As reported in the Carolina Journal Online,

On some state-specific questions, Tar Heel voters polled slightly to the left of their national counterparts. For instance, 48 percent of respondents in the national survey said that public employee salaries should be frozen and benefits reduced to shore up state budgets, compared to 40 percent who believe the opposite.

We are carrying a $1.3 BILLION dollar debt in Raleigh with it having to be paid for in increased fees and possibly very soon increased property taxes. And yes I believe fees are taxes.

When elected I will fight for the needs of our citizens in Raleigh while fighting against the haphazard policy of spend, spend, and spend some more.

Only 1 candidate supports a Marriage Constitutional Amendment

I am the only candidate that supports a Constitutional Amendment to protect Marriage as a act of joining a single man and a single woman into holy matrimony.

As reported in the News and Observer today, Democrats support Gay marriage while three black ministers joined Republican leaders to defend the idea of a Constitutional Amendment that protects marriage.
And I abhor the attempts of Democrats to equate racism of the Jim Crow Laws with this.

When will my opponents take a stand against Gay marriage and for defending our holy matrimony?

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.
