Political Cartoon of the DAY!!!  

Kevin Gordon’s big campaign signs and billboards are all over Cleveland County. Gordon must have won the Powerball Lottery to be able to support such spending. OR, Gordon has been bought off by the big special interest crowd who expect to reap Hugh dividends in 2025 if Kevin Gordon is elected commissioner in 2024.

The truth of the matter is this. It will NOT be Kevin Gordon himself paying his “investors” big dividends!! It will be YOU, the taxpayer who pays for those big signs and billboards through very large increases in YOUR property tax BILLS in 2025.

All these big signs and billboards are not anything new in Cleveland County election year politics. Remember the 2018 Elections when defeated Commissioner Eddie Holbrook spent $68,000 on HIS big signs and billboards. Only to lose to Commissioner Deb Hardin and Doug Bridges who spent all together less than 10% of what Holbrook spent.

It is expected that Cleveland County voters will do the same in 2024. Dump the special interest big sign and big spending candidates like Kevin Gordon and vote for Robert A. Williams and those he endorses for Cleveland County Commissioners. Robert A. Williams has pledged to the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. To NOT raise individual citizens’ property tax bills, but to raise tax revenue only through growth!!

So, what does Robert A. Williams mean by Growth? Increasing tax revenue, not by raising individual citizens’ tax bills? NOoo! Robert A. would keep the tax bills for individual citizens exactly the same. Hey, everybody knows Cleveland County is growing mostly because people working in Charlotte and Spartanburg SC are spreading out along I-85 into Cleveland County. When THOSE folks build houses in Cleveland County, their property tax bill collections represent “growth.” Revenue increases without having to raise the property tax bills of those who are already here!!! Folks, It’s just that simple!! Robert A believes in keeping simple things, SIMPLE!!!

Folks, THAT is a simple fiscal responsibility concept that Kevin Gordon, et. al. just refuse to comprehend. All that crowd knows is tax and spend and spend and tax the people. And take out a cut for themselves and their pals along the way!! Like Eddie Holbrook and others regarding the Casino!!

So, folks, YOU can sell your vote cheap to the likes of Kevin Gordon, et. al. OR, invest your future and your children’s future in candidates like Robert A. Williams and those he endorses. Candidates for CC Commissioner who understand that GROWTH is the best path into the future and how to pay for that better future. Smooth and Steady GROWTH, and not continuous booms and busts.

Robert A has set his Election Campaign budget low-lean and mean-and intends to keep County budgets the same way. Smart voters will look at all those big signs and notice Robert A’s small signs (those that have not yet been stolen) and make their smart choices.

Elect Robert A Williams for Cleveland County Commissioner in 2024.

This is the campaign sign that cannot be bought or stolen!!
