Mr. Webb can no longer call for a runoff. There was data entered incorrectly in McDowell County and he is now in 3rd place for this election after the correction. Check out the NC State Board of Elections Primary Results online. Ralph Hise = 4,831/37.62%, Tamera Frank = 4,122/32.10%, and Andy Webb = 3,888/30.28%. This means that Webb is no longer in the running for NC state senate.

has anyone seen Andy lately? i know someone that works in the industrial park and the speed is miserable on rocco's isp. word is they are going to switch from rocco to charter for the increase speed which will be nearly increased by 10 times going with Charter. So now it looks like the few businesses in the park are jumping sheep.

Has he or Andy paid any of that money back to the county for not meeting there April deadline on the payback of the funds fronted to start with by the County?

Is Rocco paying the property tax on the land we gave him? Should be about $800/yr by my calculations. Does anyone how I can find out?

Because silly u can't stop the good ole boy network in mcdowell. Webb, Gillespie, Abernathy, etc are the untouchables of this area. Try to buck them and you are the one in trouble.

so why has the mcdowell news not followed up on this and the fact the contractual agreements have not been met? if this were just john doe like me they would be putting it on front page every couple of months over failure to honor contract and/or i would be arrested for obtaining money or land by false pretense. have the subs rocco hired to do the schools finished up yet? they were way behind too and charging a ridiculous amount of money

The statement above from August is justified. Has Rocco and Andy paid back money to county or has county taken action to reclaim the property and back taxes that were foregone then extensions given at least twice? So how about it, I am a taxpayer and I want answers from abernathy, webb, disanto, and commissioners for allowing this to go on so .long without resolution or action. Have penalties and fines been imposed for breech of contract? Were school jobs by at least two of Rocco and Webb's company names completed properly and at what cost? Were other bids obtained?

True Bubba be real. The good role boy network is why they get away with their shady dealings. You can't question publicly or you would be ruined.
