What's anyone know about Cortland J. Meader, Jr., he's filed as a R to challenge VIrginia Foxx for the 5th District seat, and God knows she's been there to long. Might be the only chance to get rid of her.

I hope this isn't Larry Dix:

Then there is this for Joseph Miller, however I'm not sure it's the same Joseph Miller or if he is one of the heirs of Joseph R, in his defense this could be the fact that an estate has not yet been settled, which does happen sometimes. (Though the executor of the estate should be making the tax payments in such an event)

2001 20846 09342 004 MILLER JOSEPH R (HEIRS) 467.45
2015 24104 09342 004 MILLER JOSEPH R (HEIRS) 370.23
2016 24117 09342 004 MILLER JOSEPH R (HEIRS) 342.63
2017 24098 09342 004 MILLER JOSEPH R (HEIRS) 316.27

The research team is probably not in the proper shape to run backgrounds on Larry and Joe tonight. Maybe we can get it done tomorrow.

He does not have the courage to face an angry electorate.

I wish Rose would file. I want to see him go down like Judy did.

Per the Board of Elections website, Larry Dix and Joseph (Joe) Miller have filed as Republican candidates for county commissioner

Howell made the lawsuit easy to win by his actions and non actions.

The complaint filed by the family said Phil called it in, then kitted up and walked over to the house when another officer arrived. He was involved.

Either way, if he didn’t have the sense to provide needed information, like the suspect was blind and deaf, I don’t think he has the attention for detail that one should have for such a job. I know Jr said that’s easy enough to understand, but a LEO is supposed to remember to pass along such info.

Name the good man......so we can all call you a liar again.

Wow it took y’all an awfully long time to come around to the truth.. after all the lies, innuendo, accusations.. finally the truth.
Of course you first had to drag a good man’s name through the mud.
But then that is what the lynch mob does..

Jake Howell was involved in the actually shooting along with Monday and Hoppy. Phil was supposed to have called in the complaint.

Joseph T.

Once again according to the link that jack posted the court documents say Phil Howell.

So were there two officer Howells involved in the Houck shooting? I thought there was only one and it was Jake not Phil? Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s my recollection of the case.

Windy I have said this before. By election time Bucket will have going on 36 years. Will he make four years is the question I have asked. I really want someone that can serve more then one term.

Olejoe

Actually the lawsuit wasn't won it was settled out of court.... just like the Buchanan case was.... and just like the Shatley lawsuit will be.

Thought I'd lighten up the atmosphere:


With the end of the dumpster fire Buchanan administration that was the real-life sad comedy composite of Sheriffs Roscoe P. Coltrane, Buford T. Justice, and Elroy P. Lobo, almost all of the current candidates look the part of Matt Dillon. But lest you forget, Coltrane had Enos, Buford had Junior, and Lobo had Perkins. Last thing we need as another dipstick act staring Mochen. He even favors Lobo’s Deputy Perkins.


I am a Republican, and don’t know who I will support between Howell or Hendrix, but come general election time, Bucky Absher has my vote. No substitute for experience. Give him four years, and if it doesn’t work out, then we move on

.

For the young’uns out there maybe a little explanation is needed.

I lost all faith in Williams before the houck shooting. He and the rest of the department had to know what a loose cannon the hog was. It makes no difference what had a bullet hole in it. Houck is just as dead and a lawsuit was won.

Olejoe

By all accounts Houck was home alone on the night he was killed, so much of what the lawyers allege happened is pure speculation. The allegations against Howell were dropped for some reason...perhaps for lack of proof, I don't know... I haven't heard his side of the story. We all know what a good lawyer can insinuate in their filings....we say that with Buchanan. If you only listened to Buchanan's lawyers you would believe the charges against him were nothing but a witch hunt, but knowing both sides I think they were justified. Also according to James William's statements to the press, Houck had been shooting toward neighbor's homes all evening and had weapons and ammo stock piled at his door. He also said Houck had even shot up the inside of his own home, so who's to say what would have happened if someone had been home with him.

Joe, the settlement was never published. I just remember a figure that was just under 400 thousand to the Houck family.

I highly doubt that Hoppy hog will be convicted of stepping on a fly with the attorneys he has. I would venture a guess that they have done the same to the DA that bufurts attorneys did. However the Shatley family will surely win a settlement with their lawsuit.
