Public is giving CPW candidates a free ride on issues
JUL 21, 2012
By Chip Blomgren
It's hot outside. We all have the same politics when it comes to the heat; we want to stay cool. If you visited Weather.com's homepage on July 19, its top headline read: “Severe Drought Reaches 21st-Century High.” South Carolina and the nation continue to set all-time temperature records and suffer a lack of rainfall. As a result, our crops are flagging and we are getting saddled with $500 a month electric bills. Tack the economic slump and monetary inflation issues onto the heat and that is a recipe for many people having to make hard choices between their utility payments and their groceries the rest of this year. However, on July 24, our fair citizenry of Greer get to elect a new Commissioner of Public Works in a municipal election. This is your chance to directly impact how your power and water will be managed by raising your concerns to the two candidates, Perry Williams and Jerry Balding, as they compete for your votes.
