Corruption

Corruption is a menace in Western NC that no politician seems to care much about. I wonder why?

Whether I am elected or not, I am starting a non-profit organization focused on corruption in Western North Carolina.

Here are my ideas:

• Create the “End Corruption in Western NC” non-profit corporation
• Base the organization in Rutherford County, NC
• Create a board of directors of local community leaders in WNC
• Raise funds to hire an executive director, attorney and 2 investigators
• Focus initially on Rutherford County political corruption
• Work collaboratively with law enforcement and District Attorneys, NC SBI, and FBI
• Host a monthly update briefing publicly
• Build a coalition of partners to support ending corruption
• Create a tip line for phone calls and emails for anonymous tips on corruption
• Provide tip and investigation rewards to individuals for successful prosecution
• Create an annual award for a politician that is willing to stick their neck out to end corruption
• Rate politicians and leaders on their transparency and corruption
