: He Ed Nant TR 15 = Sea ae ELECTION LETTERS The Kings Mountain Herald Send Westmoreland to Raleigh To the editor: Kings Mountain voters will help select a State Senator next week to represent us in Raleigh for several years. Walter Dalton, a Forest City Lawyer has had the job for a long time, and now, Wes Westmoreland, a Shelby printer wants to replace him. The clear choices between these two men could not be more dramatic. Westmoreland is a family man and there- fore opposes gay marriage. He believes that marriage is a sacred act between one man and one woman. He knows that without a constitutional amendment, any liberal judge can overrule a State law, making it possible for men to marry men, women to marry women, brothers to marry sisters, fathers to marry daughters and so on. Dalton, like most liberals, thinks a State law is just fine. Westmoreland knows that many small businesses are strained to make payroll and keep people working in their companies. High business taxes, high property taxes, and harsh government regulations have already forced many companies to lay off workers and even go out of business. Westmoreland wants to cut these taxes, radi- cally reduce useless regulations, and give incentives to companies already operating in our two counties. Dalton created most of these problems, some of them single-handedly, and he. is in lock-step cahoots with those. elements in Raleigh who benefit financially from restrict- ing fair trade by local employers. According to several Rutherford County people, he worked against the citizens who elected him by being County attorney in matters where the interest of the County ran contrary to the financial concerns of taxpayers Westmoreland is committed to no new taxes. He will work hard to reduce existing taxes and to ease governmental regulations that strangle existing employers. While cer- tain incentives are necessary to bring in major employers, Westmoreland realizes that a fair tax base, much, much, lower than it is now will eventually bring in companies eager to hire our workers who are known for dedication to productive work and responsi- ble citizenship. Dalton, on the other hand, never voted against a tax increase. In fact, his liberal party has raised taxes more than a billion dollars a year for all of his time in office. He has never seen a regulation he didn't like, and he consistently sides with the extreme liberal elements of his party, some of them Chairman supports Bill To the editor: I write this letter in support of Bill Chambless who is running for one of the seats on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners. There are a number of rea- sons that I would give to support Bill being elected. One of the reasons is the support he gives to the county on economic develop- ment. Most of the citizens of Kings Mountain do not know that Bill, as an independent busi- nessman and commercial realtor, has brought many commercial clients to Kings Mountain, and some of those businesses are now located on York Road, businesses that * NO tax increases many of us use daily. In his work bill continues to support and promote Kings Mountain in its economic development effort and has been successful in doing so. I have also found Bill to be an individual that will listen, gather informa- tion and make sound decisions based on that information. More importantly, Bill has some of the characteristics that we all value, a fam- ily man and a Christian. Please support Bill Chambless for County Commissioner. Ronald J. Hawkins, Chairman, Cleveland County Commissioner now under criminal indictment. A booming economy this past year or so created a massive surplus in Raleigh. Dalton and the liberals went to Raleigh, spent it all, and created new programs that now have us in danger of a shortfall at the next budget session. All these new programs are to hand out State money to people who for one rea- son or another have not taken care of their own needs. Dalton and the liberals buy their vote with taxpayers money. Westmoreland built his own company with honesty and hard work, a company that now provides employment for a number of peo- ple. As a young man, he worked for low wages as a printer and learned his trade. He also learned the honesty and the integrity that has been at the forefront of Westmoreland Printers in Shelby since its beginning. Dalton, on the other hand has made his fortune in the courtrooms of our country, sometimes helping people accused of horrible crimes get by regardless of their innocence or guilt. Let's send an honest conservative, Wes Westmoreland, to Raleigh next week. Bob Scoggins Kings Mountain Chambless Letter Policy Address letters to The Editor, Kings Mountain Herald, P.O.
