Results In On Survey
- Local citizens haye had a
strong voice in the planning ef-
forts of N.C. 2000. It’s up to the
State to listen and act. The
results are back from the N.C.
2000 survey to which some
4,500 Cleveland County
residents responded saying
above all, they want quality
education for their children and
they want good jobs, enough to
go around.
John Griffin, Chairman of the
Cleveland County N.C. 2000
Committee said that it is up to
Governor Hunt and the North
Carolina General Assembly to
carry out the desires of the peo-
ple. ;
A computer analysis of
Cleveland County’s survey
results show that in addition to
Jobs and Education, people are
concerned in the areas listed: Ef-
ficient state and local govern-
ment, help for the needy, not to
be taxed to death, develop
suitable protection laws for our
environmental programs as
federal policies change, and ade-
quate affordable housing.
The respondents were least
concerned with recreational op-
portunities, cultural activities
and agriculture. The people in
Cleveland County are concerned
about being able to support their
families and concerned that their
families are educated, that
they’ve got a good place to live,
and that Government is doing
what it’s supposed to do in an ef-
ficient manner, Griffin said.
Our local committees will be
meeting again in the near future
to discuss the survey results and
draft our recommendations that
will be presented to the Gover-
nor and the Commission in
November.
Respondent Characteristics of
Those Answering the Survey in
Cleveland County are as
Follows:
3% Had 8 Yrs. or less of
education, 15% had some high
school education, 36% were
high school graduates, 18% had
some college, 28% were college
graduates, 33% of those respon-
ding were male, 67% were
female, 73% were white, 25.4%
were black, 3% were 17 years
old, 30% were 18 to 29, 57%
were 30 to 49, 7% were 50 to 64,
and 4% were 65 and over.

$800 and Chambers’ car was a
total loss.
Investigating officer Gary Sail
charged Chambers with driving
under the influence, no in-
surance, no operator’s license
and exceeding a safe speed.

be impossible to list them all. He
recent had a painting show in
“Southern Accent” magazine.
Hege is very much interested
in antiques and does some deal-

Since his painting has become so
much in demand, he has had to

shows in order to devote more
time to creating his works of art.

antique field and continues to
own many. He is a versatile per-
