Candidates,

Here are several questions that I, and probably many other voters, would like your answers to.

1. In the light of the recent announcement of a new proposed route for the so-called Atlantic Coast Pipeline, that would reportedly cross 249 parcels of privately-owned land in Pocahontas County, I would like to know your current position on this project, how you would like the County Commission to act regarding it if and when you take office, and your position on the use of Eminent Domain in general in Pocahontas County.
2. What are your positions on land-use planning and/or zoning in Pocahontas County?
3. What are your positions on building codes, and property maintenance and “clean-up” regulations in Pocahontas County?

I will provide true copies of your answers, or lack of answer, after two weeks, to both the Pocahontas Times and the Pocahontas Commentator. Feel free to respond by snail- or e-mail.

Thank you for your proposed service to our County.
