TFT SUPPORTS GET TRAIN BACK ON TRACK AFTER VALENTINE DERAILED

Yes folks TFT folks came out to get this train back on the track after Valentine wrecked it. As you know he has been associating with Betenbaugh and those "incrowd" folks on the gravy train. Oh who else did I see, there was Mike Anthony too. You know the ones that want to take, take, take. They want everything for a select few. They want to raise their salaries and make you pay the price. They want to raise your taxes and keep grinding you in the dirt while they go eat steak and lobster at Hilton Head. Well now that we are getting this train back to running lets make sure we don't let Mike and Valentine back in the drivers seat. See link below:

Why has no one  questioned a state owned vehicle assigned to the housing authority being parked at the Dario between 1 1/2 to 2 hours almost daily?.  What business related to the housing authority could be transpiring  in this restaurant Who is the watch dog over the proper use of state vehicles?  With the county and state budget constraints, why would any employee be allowed the use of a state vehicle for personal use?

COULD MIKE STEVENS BECOME SUPERMAN

TFT understands that it may have gotten a little hot over at WBCU with Mike starting to back TFT.  We understand he was saying something that the, "incrowd"  did not like.  His radio show at 9am has started to fill with music and the stories of butterflies not rats that need to be cleaned out.  Did some powerful, "incrowd"  folks threaten to remove their adds?  Mike talked about how he loved  his job and wanted to stay at WBCU till he retired.  Well Mike,  it is time to be superman and put those Christian principals into practice.  It is time to live by your convictions.  It is time to either stand up and speak your mind and possibly loose your job or be the lap dog for the, "incrowd."  What will WBCU do?  Will they stand up and do the right thing?  Are they going to bow down to political pressure?  What has changed?  I was turning you on WBCU but now I am turning you off.  It is time to be superman or a lap dog.  This is Union not Soviet Union.    See below if you want to see who Mike Stevens could be.

Is someone going to run against Joan Little, another betenbaugh pawn. It seems someone would do so. this year we must make changes, how much worse could they be. we need someone to run on republican ticket for county supervisor. What really happen to Mike Stevens?? Whose toes did he step on.? Do as I have done to WBCU , turn to another channel until Mike comes back on. . Remember what insanity stands for, expecting new results by doing same thing. Listen folks we have nearly 25% unemployment, another 30% on welfare or disability and no new plants coming in. What have our council members, Mike Anthony, county supervisor done for us, except putting us in position for the 19th worst place in America to live. Vote the leaches out of office or here we go for 4 more years and we should sit back and say nothing if we allow this.

BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS

We understand that a nice lady named Kelly Small will challenge Mr. Valentine in the upcoming election. Also Mr. Calvin Payton will challenge Donnie Cudd for her seat for probate judge. TFT will have more information about these candidates in the near future. Both candidates should be commended for stepping forward.

The incumbents have been riding that gravy train and we need to let them off at the next stop. So get ready folks Union is going to explode into a wonderful place.

DOES JOEY ENGLISH HAVE ASPHALT ON HIS MIND

As I understand it Joey got some asphalt from SLOAN for some roads in his district.  I don't believe he went through proper channels to do so if there is any there should be.  Well, I understand not long after,  SLOAN was to be fined 35,000 dollars due to not doing something they should have done.  A vote was taken by the county to either fine them or let them go.  I understand the loan holdout was Joey English.  Ask yourself this question.  Do you think that Joey English was motivated to vote not to fine SLOAN due to the, "free asphalt."  This is why I say vote for Hyder.  English seems to believe rules apply to all except those that do him a favor.  I would also like to state that there is no evidence that SLOAN asked or expected a special favor that I am aware of.

PREDICTIONS ON TAXES GOING UP UP UP

Well folks,  the county is meeting later today and will discussing fiancees.  We predict they will go up, up, up as will city.  Why are these folks raising your taxes? Because it is your money.  So when you see the General and county council, city council and the mayor say thanks for helping you get put on the street.  And remind those folks that you will be voting against them when election time roles around.  This prediction was brought to you free by TFT, because predicting what these folks do is as easy as 1,2

I still don't see what the problem is with a team practicing on the new field.  It was not interfering with anyone playing, and surely they weren't destroying the property, so why not?   Should we really be this way about the complex.  People can go there to walk, and the kids can play on the playgrounds, but a team cant use the dirt to practice?   I'm sorry, but this sounds a bit greedy to me.  I would  never have voted for such an expensive place when that money could have been used elsewhere, but since its there, and we all are paying for it, then as long as people take care of the property, then I say..use it.    I would love nothing more than to ride by the ball field everyday and see a group of children practicing, because to me, that means, they're not drinking, doing drugs, or breaking into to someone's business or residence.

union will always live in the past, civil war re enactments, antique farm shows, show n shine car club car shows full of older cars , town and city festivals with nothing but old music, and now one more event, we should be worrying about getting industry in here and doign things thta are 21st century in nature

at first we were just the laughing stock of the state, but with all the corruption and 19th worst place to live ranking weyre the laughing stock of the entire country, and backwoods redneck country hick stuff like this is one of the reasons weyre in this mess now

so next time , (which will probably be today) you go out of union county to eat shop or see a concert or show just remember its this mindset here that caused you to be living in the past

i say we should change the name of union, to unionville, after all the union daily un-times says thats what our name was in the 1800s and since weyre living in the 1800s we might as well get the name that suits us best, either that or crap hole, you decide

I would appreciate it if you did not print my name but if it means the difference between printing my letter or not, then you may.


I have a few questions that I would like answered.

What has Tommy Sinclair, herein after referred to as "The General" actually done since he has stepped into the Supervisors role? Is there actually anything? He has done nothing but been somewhat of a "yes man". Name ONE THING he has done to better this community.....

Does the public not remember that The General has ALWAYS tried his best to be apart of the "IN CROWD"? That's right people, he has always tried to run in that circle, the problem is that they would use him for their leg work but would never actually let him in.

The entire time he was in the school system he was part of the good old boy system, hiring his friends and the Blackmon's friends and putting the "well to do citizens" kids in those school jobs instead of hiring the best candidate for the job. He thought he was well connected until the Marion Parrish fiasco and he got caught on the outside looking in and ended up on the wrong side of all that. Why don't you go ask his former employees what kind of a person he is?

 Have you never wondered why he never made it as a Principal at the High School?

Why dn't you go check and see about how he ran the "Personell" (only there 2 years, I think) job and then when it was obvious he was not in the "Network" enough to get the Superintendent job he "Retired".

How about him spending the school money (Sims) for power and using the school utensils and ovens to cook BBQ after he had a falling out with his own family and they refused to associate and cook with him anymore? How about those are the same family members that he has found "legalities" and cut out of the land out there on the Meansville road that belonged to their Aunt and was supposed to go to other members of the family but the Last Will and Testament got "changed" a few months before she died (it seems as if she was in her mid  90's? I think she was a Lee...) and miraculously he and his SLED agent brother got it all. Funny that now, when he has a problem and calls SLED.

I read that he owned a construction company for 10 years, really? Who was his partner(s), what did they "construct?"

Don't be fooled, The General is running for Supervisor at 14,000 because that is all he can legally make and still double dip into his School retirement and his Military retirement. Did anyone else notice that if he wins,  the remainder of the Supervisor's salary "He has discretion over to use to attract business etc."? He can do with it what he wants....you heard it right.

This is just more of the same people, except maybe more dangerous, after all, he has always been kept on the outside of the "in crowd" now he wants his shot at being "The In Crowd."

Be careful that you don't let a fox in the hen house. The General is a fox......

I have for years now said that any punishment should fit the crime. If you rob a bank, you should go to prison for robbery. But, if you decide to have a some sort argument with someone, you should not loose your job over it. Well folks, let me tell you a story i heard today. A local man was working the counter at a local auto parts store, NAPA. In walks Mr Mightier Than Thou, Howard Wells . Mr Wells proceeds to get a attitude toward the counterperson and the counterperson gets a attitude back at Mr Wells! Since Mr Wells is in tight with Mr Jeter, The counterperson is fired! I can understand if he gets a day or two off with no pay , but to loose your job over this??? I cant do anything to Mr Wells, even though i would love to mess his hair up, plus it is legal for me to own a gun. One thing i can do, I will forbid my mechanic from buying any parts for my car at NAPA!


3/27/2010

Mickey Gist is a good man and understand the working class. I am a white male and have known Mickey for over 30 years since the days he coached at Union High. He is a fair ,hard working man. Most important he is a change from the past. We must make changes or we will remain where we are at or maybe even worse. Mickey will serve the people of Union with honor. Please consider this person for the next County Supervisor and give change a chance. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

DONT HAND VALENTINE A SWEET HEART DEAL

This is an appeal to the good people of Union County. Brad Valentine is running and has no opponent. Where are the good people of Union. He was heavily involved with the, "in crowd." Valentine can be beat. He is vulnerable because the good people of Union want change. They are tired of being last on the list. Valentine never spoke out that I heard. You can have a great job because the folks want you. Believe in yourself and we will fight for you. We have them on the run. Ten folks out of office. Be part of the new beginning. Stand up and be counted, take a stance. God give you the conviction to help your fellow man. Walk with him and trust in him. He will show you the way. We are at war and he is one of the last few holdouts. Take down this Tory and lets break his heart.

I lived in Union for many years, but there is one thing I know about the people. They never think about a change.They just sit back and let the crooks tell them what to do and when to do it.Point in referance, the county comissioners don't listen to the people. Go to the meeting and speak up. You have a right to be heard in public view. Tell them what you want, if they don't do it vote them out. The school board is above all, aleast they think so. How dare the superintendent take down awards and banners in the school. I would damand his resignation imediately. If he is so powerful then something needs to be done. Go to the school board meetings and tell them what you want. REMMEBER THEY WORK FOR YOU!!!!!!!STAND UP UNION. THE FUTURE IS YOURS.  You have lost so many generations of good, educated, loyal and devoted young people. What will you have in ten years? I will tell you, A WELFARE STATE!!!!!!!! Get rid of Mike A. also. He is a parasite. He does nothing for his pay and is like most people that are put into office. They tell you what you want hear, but do nothing.  They were good at something, but being a repesentative of the people is not one of them. How can he justify his job or salary? He does nothing. Some may say that he looks after  the well being of Union County, and all the good things he has done. How in the hell could he have done those if he didn't see coruption in the county government.He is looking out for him self. People please wake up, please. Just try putting someone different in office that has experinece. If you don't like it then vote them out. Don't keep putting the same crooks in office and say I wish someone else would run for the office. If you don;t like who is running, HELL run your self. You can do as good a job as these clowns that in there now. I would like to return to Union some day but I fear there will not be anything left then. THERE IS ONE THING THE PEOPLE IN UNION DO NOT HAVE IS HOPE. STOP COMPLAINING AND DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!! ATTEND THE MEETINGS.

(i say this, time for truth is a good place to read the TRUTH if you dont like whats being said thats fine, but to come on and speculate or say its full of lies is doing the same thing youre preaching, just because you cant handle the TRUTH or the TRUTH has been spoken about you or one of your precious councilmen, dosent mean its not the TRUTH)

 

1 - You completely missed the point of the post.

2 - You have no idea who wrote it, why, and the motives of the heart of the individual or what they stand for.

3 - It just proves the point I was attempting to make about some posts on TFT.

 

Truth is not wild speculation about a person you don’t know.

Truth is not wide condemnation of the people of Union as a whole.

Posts like this leave me wondering about the poster more so than the subject of the post.

 

Since you brought Jesus into it, what would he say concerning Exodus 3:16.

Why is everybody praising the General he is just getting credit for things that FBI have brought to light. If I can recall the General was the personal Man for union county schools   for awhile and he hired alot of family members like Mr. Jeter has so it was not a problem then so what the big problem now.I can't say the General is not a good guy because I don't know him but be careful how you build a man up it usually set you up for a hard fall.Union County have been hurt by all the bad things that has went on so right now anything and anybody  we think are good might not be be careful because the smoke will clear one day and what then do you have so let's be careful The General say he would run the county for 14,000 dollars is that all he can make isn't he retired you have to be careful with a man that will do anything for power.And By the way did'nt he run for Mike Anthony's seat as a independent sound like a man that change like the wind to me.The Union Tea Party no different than a PICNIC and you know what a picnic really mean. The GOP party what a joke you can fool the Mayor of Jonesville which don't take much but alot people see you for who you really is so people be careful. People be careful who you build up might set you up for hard fall remember Donnie he walked on water but look at us know.folks might not be who you think they are he is you ladies know when you've been hurt sometime you accept anything be careful you got to wake up the next day. Paul Wilkes what make him so great for the job Donnie And his city council Brother-n-Law It was people that was alot more qualified for that job so don't build him up because everybody who was in on the hiring process for him is gone so that say alot about him Vickie And Donnie OOOPS might be something there alot money in the family what you think TFT they both liked money and favors. you can dress them up all you want but he is not the right man for the job you can't take chicken crap and make chicken salad

The point of the Complex was not for practice.  Please do not miss the point here.  No one would have a problem with any child in this county practicing on the new Sports Complex, the point is the Complex was built as a high end facility designed for play and predominately tournament play.  When the county sells off the majority of the other ball fields in this County then fine, but until then the taxpayers are not only paying for the Complex they are also paying for the upkeep on more than 25 ball fields throughout Union County.  Can Union taxpayers afford to keep all these ball fields up?   If the Complex is to be used for practice then close the majority of the other fields because we don’t need all of them.  I am sure practicing on the Complex is fine with most people but again don’t miss the point here, we are all paying out the wazoo on more than just the Sports Complex.  Do not forget about all these properties off the tax books (ball fields)  that the Union County continues to keep up.

WHOO---WHOOO---MIKE WANTS ON GRAVY TRAIN ONE MORE TIME

Did you ever wonder why Union is the caboose of the state. Cause for the last 8 years Anthony has been riding the gravy train. Yes he wants back on for another ride. Lets see where we are under Anthony. We are about 3 from the bottom and have a 22% unemployment rate which is increasing. We are considered the 19th worst place in the USA. Mike is also enjoying a salary of about 60,000 dollars being a, "spokesperson" for Union Schools. He has kept this job and should have know it is a burden on the county yet he would have rather taken advantage of this instead of doing what a leader does and sacrifice himself for a better purpose. Have you ever heard him saying anything important? How about anything at all? Now he wants to take credit for all these companies that came to Union. How many in 8 years? Wait I thought Morgan and Betenbaugh brought them. Have you ever heard him speak out against Morgan or Betenbaugh? And how about all those folks that stood up for USC-U. He was just the voice of many.---oh he did say something, about time. I say it is time to let Mike off at the next stop. Let him know the gravy train don't run no more.


3/26/2010

Let me give MY opinion on the new complex. As much money that was spent on that field. I think everyone should be able to use it for practice or games. What damage were those girls doing by practicing on Sunday morning?? That's exactly why the children and teens around this town stay in trouble now--they have no where to go and nothing to do, and someone had the nerve to get on here and bi**ch because the girls were on the field outside of a tournament. Do you realize how many people in this county are paying for that ball field, who don't even have children that play sports?? Well I do have a child playing, but we aren't playing on the nice-new fields, so get a hobby and stop complaining because the kids are making good use of the field. The money is being spent to keep it up,so I think we all should be able to use it.

its funny how all you people in union keep denying things when a person gets charged and you say they will beat it in court, then court rules them guilty and you say things like well they are still a good christian person

you guys are portraying judas as jesus, youve got it backwards, its supposed to be the other way around, jesus wouldnt steal money from the tax payers, or anything else thats gone on in union,

adding insult to injury, since our local government wont listen to us when we tell them not to build things like the baseball complex, heres another article on the new one being built in reidville which is spartanburg county, its bigger, better, convenient to the interstate and they have all the local attractions hotels restaurants etc to please the large crowds they will get

union said no to the interstate, union didnt listen when we said dont build the complex, no one is going to use ours with no hotels and restaurants and all the recent corruption

hate to say i told you so, well i take that back, i love telling you i told you so hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah.................ahahahahahahahahahahah

As a student of UCHS I have to say its a smoker friendly environment. The rules in the agenda are a big joke. The Administrators are an even bigger joke and the punishment is the biggest joke of them all. None of the administrators see that taking a smoke break between classes in a "Smoke-Free" environment is seriously wrong. Not only is it illegal (under-aged), but it endangers my health and smells bad. The smokers at the school have taken notice of the administators BLIND EYE and have now started smoking more than just cigarettes. The hallways are always hazy with the sweet smell of MARIJUANA and cigarettes when the late bell rings. Why don't I tell you might ask?  It does nobody any good to tell the principal or teachers when I or any other student witness somebody smoking. The administrators, usually in no hurry to investigate, will tell you plan and blunt "we can't do nothing if we don't see them smoking, but ill check". Mr. Administrator why don't you come stand in the restrooms during class changes instead of gossiping with other teachers? Mr. Administrator put a little pep in your step to catch the smoker. I guess that is too much to ask. As a former student of the Spartanburg District I have witness a more non tolerant system. Smoke detectors were installed in the restrooms and when it went off you got more than just a slap on the wrist or phone call home. Suspension, intervention, and a $50 fine. No Union is not Spartanburg, Greenville, Charlotte but its not too much to ask for to stop under-aged smoking in schools, in any county. Instead of buying white paint to stupidly paint over beautiful wall art work, maybe the district office should of bought smoke detectors. Isn't that what they get paid for? A little too much PAY to sit on their butts on main street and do nothing that shows much improvement. The Truth is UCHS needs CHANGE.

TFT BELIEVES MICKEY GIST IS A GOOD MAN

Mickey Gist has many fine qualities that one needs to be a supervisor.  We believe he is very honest and a hard working person that will work for the good of the community.  He should be highly considered for the job.  Please review the following link:

TFT,

 I’ve been reading now for some time and offer a suggestion.

 Chill out a little. 

Your name is Time for TRUTH –  

NOT – Time for wild speculation.

NOT - Time for Half truth Gossip

NOT – Time for un-substantiated hear-say.

 It’s “Time for TRUTH.”

 As such I’d think that those pushing for moral upright actions would hold themselves to a higher standard.That’s not what I see reading here lately and it’s starting to taint your actions from my point of view.

As I drive by the beautiful Timken Sports Complex every evening, I have noticed a girls softball team practicing on the field.  I did not think that practicing would be allowed on the fields.  The County just agreed after much debate that some of the kids in the County leagues would be allowed to even play on the fields.  Is this some of the “in crowd” that are being allowed to practice on the fields?.  This is a good question for Paul Wilkes.  He has been able to answer some of the crucial questions that folks in Union have about the Complex.   We would like to know if those folks that have permission to practice are some who think they have the rights to the fields because they may have donated money?  When will the good ole boy system go away?  Looks like it never will in Union.
Sinclair I thought you were going to be sure that this good ole boy stuff would stop, but apparently you either don’t know about it or you just don’t want to make these folks mad.  We must take care of these fields so that tournament pay can  prosper, at least that is the way this Complex was presented at startup.   Can we really allow practice play on fields designed only for tournament play and real games.  How much more upkeep will be required for practice on a 6 million dollar complex?

WSPA news reported the story about the County employee who resigned and then checks and cash were found totaling more than $50,0000 in her desk drawer.  Mrs. Nash gave a statement admitting to sloppy booking but nothing more.  She just did not have time to get around to putting the money in the bank for more than 3 months.  Wow, sounds like she was running the entire county if she was so busy not to be able to make a deposit that would take all of about 60 seconds.  Shame on you Union County for putting this type workload on your employees.  To think there would be any fowl play involved with those folks who had close ties to Betenbaugh.

Why would Union County allow an employee to retire instead of terminating her for this type behavior.  Then she would not be able to cash in on her retirement.  Insubordination usually warrants termination!  Not at Union County.  When are folks that work for the State going to start complaining about those who have been able to retire after this type behavior? This is only taking more money from the State retirement system and for some future retirees, the bank may go bust by then.  Those of you close to retirement should just do whatever you want no matter what the boss says.  You will get rewarded for bad behavior and go ahead and get to retire early at the expense of fellow state employees.

CHECKS NO SURPRISE TO TFT

We at TFT aren't surprised about the checks and money being found.  You are likely to find more in the near future unless some of the department heads borrowed it and pay it back 75 years from now.  As we told you about a year ago, Betenbaugh was the head of the octopus.  You cut off the head and the tentacles will die.  It is my belief that these checks may have come in and for years not been going to the right location.  Without Betenbaugh to direct the location, time and place others don't know how to play the shell game. Let me ask these questions.  What about money from the recycling centers,  or money to fix up the old AFB on Main?   How about the money that comes in from Standard Textile in a rental building and other monies that come in?  How about all those cost overrides from the complex what did he do there?  While Betenbaugh is suppose to cooperate I doubt he will volunteer  too much information  TFT believe he is protecting a net work of accomplices.  Continue to press him and let him know that he will be retried on all charges if he continues to hold out.  You need to look real close to his associates.  Many are considered those that would not have participated but I am not so sure.  So keep digging you got a lot more rats to clean out.

THE FOLLOWING REPORT WAS WRITTEN ON 1-27-09 A TFT EXCLUSIVE


INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE LAUNCHED BY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT & COUNCIL MEMBERS

The buzz around town is, the County took away everyone's Sam's Club Credit Cards that were issued to Department Heads and whoever else had them. Some hear folks used the card for their own households.  Therefore, "Timefortruth,"  believes an investigation is warranted.  Anyone,  that has done this needs to resign and repay the county.  Those that don't come forward should be fired when discovered, repay the county and tried for defrauding the county.  A report needs to be given to the citizens of Union about this incident.  Anyone covering this up needs to be held accountable.  It may be a good idea for citizens of Union to write SLED for additional help.  Folks it sounds like we have foxes in the
hen house.  It is time to clean these rascals out.

PREDICTIONS  MADE FEB 09

We have tried to be very accurate in reporting and through efforts of many folks we have tried to educate the public about problems in Union City and County.  Here are some things we have predicted that have come true.

PRAYERS ARE BEING ANSWERED (repeat) Written about a year ago.

Yes folks,  prayers are being answered.  My prayer has been for the Lord to show his strength and remove those in power that are using their office to harm the good people of Union or associated and enable those in power.  I asked him to show His resolve and power by enlightening the good people of Union that He is here with us and will be our beacon of hope.  I know in due time He will smite those that continue to stay in power and will besiege them like they have besieged us.  I pray that their financial empire will collapse and he will cast them into prisons.  I have asked him to remove the following from power and he has done so. 

Bruce Morgan
Jeff Lawson
Howard Wells
Joe Lawson
Fran Bailey
Brad Morris

I further ask him to remove Donnie Betenbaugh
and those associated with him that keep his power block in tack.  I pray for the angels to shield us from their unscrupulous ways in which they use their personal office to enrich their lives.  May God show His mighty hand in this battle and to those who have had no mercy in their relentless assault on our fiances and family let God show no mercy on them.  May those that deny the strength of His power see His awesome results as He uses the legal system to cast them under.  May God have mercy on the good people of Union as they witness this battle of good and righteousness vs. evil. 



We would like to announce the formation of the Union Tea Party. Please visit our web site at

TFT WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE UNION SCHOOL BOARD


This is very encouraging to the citizens of Union County. We would like to thank you for picking someone in town that has proven themselves to be a leader. Giving Mrs. Woodall a chance to prove what she can do as Superintendent is a good thing. Hopefully she will do a great job in leading Union in the educational profession. We also would like to thank the school board in the salary that was given to Mrs. Woodall. While it would be nice to give big raises the national, state, and local economy need an understanding by boards and managers in the government to reflect what the economy can bare. This in no way should diminish the notion that she is less qualified than other people. This is a reflection of wise policy by those in charge. Union is starting to understand what needs to be done to keep the ship afloat. Throwing money at problems doesn't always make problems go away or better sometimes it makes them worse. So thanks school board, you did come through. See link: 3-23-2010

good gosh, here we go again, more union county good ole boy system, or should we say good ole girl this time?

were talking about the same woman who quit years ago is now the new superintendent, union county is a joke we should have hired outside,

i guess were gonna keep massey as the ad also, even though the sports program as a whole has declined drastically since he took over, this whole county is a joke

SPARTANBURG COMPLEX IS JUST ONE OF MANY

As someone wrote about a new complex up the road this will be going on all over the state. TFT wrote about this over a year ago. Union will not be the only town with a complex. As more are built this will take those dollars that were expected out of Union. This should have been seen an understood by county council. This shows again the lack of leadership and understanding of complex issues. This is another reason the civic center should not be built. This center will see increased competition and will not be a money maker but a money taker.


3/23/2010

UNION IS WHAT IT IS

Union needs to recognize it is not Spartanburg, Greenville or Charlotte. Many of Union's citizens think we should be. Well, we aren't. No matter how much you want us to be we are not there we are moving in the other direction. As folks want to push us in that direction the fact is the more you push the more you fall. Union does not have the economy to support the "finer" things of life. As you attempt to have them you raise the taxes and force more folks out of business which makes Union worse. The sports complex and civic center will be two prime examples. Also adding other non-money making items like Baseball Museums and Children's Museums will put additional nails in the coffin of this economy. The old phrase, you don't put the cart before the horse rains true. In this case Union is putting a whole team.

COPPER CREEK GRILL OPENS

I went to eat at a new restaurant located at the Nixon Center on the 4 lane. They had vegetables, hamburgers, hot-dogs. I felt prices and quality were reasonable. If you want a good meal go by and check them out. This free advertisement was brought to you by TFT. Because we want Union to be prosperous. We will have more free advertisements in the future.


3/23/2010

TFT would like to thank Paul Wilkes for clarifying the Sunday game play at the Complex on the Mike Stevens Radio show this morning.  Of course some in Union do not and will not accept that games will have to be played on Sunday in order to keep up.  We do appreciate the fact the you have been on point when answering questions concerning the Sports Complex.  From the article written in the Union Daily Times insert about the Timken Sports Complex it also appears that you are well qualified to run the place.  So my only question is… Why are you not the Sports Complex Director  instead of the assistant?  You have been there to answer questions and have shown a real sense of professionalism.  When the job came open at the beginning some of us here at TFT did not appreciate nor did we believe your education was indeed in accordance with the job description.  This was only because the good ole boy system always tends to be a factor in this County.  However, you have shown us your expertise and when we are wrong we can say so.  Keep up the good work Mr. Wilkes and you will be an asset to the Timken Sports Complex even though we still believe the Complex itself is a waste of taxpayer money.  Maybe you can change our minds on that one too, but I don't think so. 

3/23/2010

 

to all of you who said the baseballl complex was a waste of money you were right, spartanburg is beating us and no one will use ours now, who would wanna come to union with  all the corruption anyway, not to mention the lack of hotels and restaurants

I read online that General Sinclair is running for office at a reduced rate and i think that is a wonderful thing. I also was told that the toughest part of his job was having to deal with the wrong doings and the mess that Donnie Betenbaugh left it in. I also read that others were going to join the race for reelection to office. I agree with other post that it is time for a change. Most current council members were only pawns in Donnie's chess game! Most of them also let all this spending continue without questioning it. I would even go on to say that one council member still talks to Donnie on a regular basis. Now you have to wonder why they run for these offices??? For the money and for the insurance! I also have a question: How can you push for jobs in this county when you dont have a job yourself???? Think about it Union! We must have changes in council members to help General Sinclair restore honesty and to get this town back to where people can live, work and enjoy life!

 



3/22/2010

It's "Time for Truth" in Union County.
The filing deadline is approaching to run for office in Union County. To unseat Donnie's cohorts in crime, someone first MUST run against these elected officials that brought shame and economic despair to Union County.
It's time to make a change for the better. Restoring Truth and integrity in Union should begin in Mr. English's district!.............

MIKE STEVENS RADIO SHOW VERY GOOD TODAY

Mike has finally said what needed to be say. He has admitted we have or had corruption in the county. This was very positive because to move forward you have to admit you have a problem. He also said indirectly he read TFT. Come on Mike you can say TFT. It is ok. Now other community leaders need to step up and say and admit they were asleep at the wheel. Then Mike said what should we be noted for. Mike I will tell you what Union should be noted for. It should be noted for some private citizens
working together to expose corruption in their government. People like Dave Fant that took their time, and money under the threat of life and limb to stand against corruption that was infested in this county. Just like the patriots of 1776 we still have that fighting, Godly spirit to help our fellow man. That is what we should be noted for.

And lastly a Mr. Cotton wrote and read a beautiful poem in which he won first place. Thanks for that wonderful poem.


3/22/2010

Why are the kids allowed to play ball on Sunday during Church Hours at the Timken Complex? Would some one explain this to me, would someone tell me where all the money is going, that is going to be made at the Timken Complex ?



To whom it may concern:
 
There are companies located within the county of Union who would have paid a commission to Union County for the opportunity to handle all concessions at the sports complex.  Instead, Union County Council decided to hire people to do this.  Number one, Union County now has to pay insurance, workman's compensation, and salaries to these people.  Second, they had to buy the equipment that would have been provided had they taken bids for the job.  Third, whoever won the bid for concessions would have been paying taxes on money made at this complex to Union County.
 
We are sick of the Union County Buddy System!

To the poster that wrote about the ex sheriff and his # 1 deputy.  You have some nerve to bring your "gossip hole" information to the website, which is nothing but lies.  Just because he sold motorola radio's does not make them stolen.  He buys and sells all sorts of radio's, with his own money and the same with ebay.  That is a fact, not some gossip I heard from a "hole".  Dont try to ruin someone's character with lies, if you dont have any evidence.   PS:  if you are ashamed of Union, then dont admit you are from here.  There are crooks everywhere, Union is just small enough to notice, but there are still good people here, even ones that work for the county, believe it or not. 

3/22/2010

If nothing hits home to anyone, The article in The Union Daily Times last week should. They were having a meeting about improvements at USC-Union. Over 40 students were in the room and they were asked , How many of you will return to Union when your education is complete? Not a single student raised their hand! After a moment of silence, The discussion continued, There would be no reason to return! The students said!  Nothing to come back too!

3/22/2010

 

When are people allow to enter the political field and at present what office are open and which ones have someone running, If we want 4 more of years of the same lets vote the ones in presently. What we need to do is have someone to run against everyone running, and give the people a choice of voting for the same screwed up mess we have or at least give someone new a chance to be honest and take care of the  people .If you satisfied being screwed, being robbed and being lied to, VOTE SAME PEOPLE BACK INTO OFFICE.If not we need some runners and give the people the other option of not being stole from.not lied to. People we have so much corruption going rampant at court house with illegal use of credit cards, illegal use of cell phones and also, someone needs to check into attractive jobs given to council members,many and very profitable. We need people who will be honest and run the government as your home would be, thrifty.    We have one spoken up, General Sinclair, so  hear more for all the other positions who will treat us fair, not lied to us or not rob from us.

CAN HYDE WARNER SAY BETENBAUGH?


In the following link it was my understanding it was written by Hyde Warner.  He does make several good points however let us make some comments.  In the right column he states that under the former supervisor this debacle took place.  Why didn't he say Betenbaugh?  He just can't seem to say what needs to be said.  Always protecting him, still not able to say what needs to be said.  Also he states that under chance this was found.  TFT pointed this out over a year ago. What was the big secret. While TFT is glad that Sinclair has taken steps to rectify this travesty.  Council should have told Sinclair that this was well known and TFT had pointed this out.  Surely they had to know? What is the matter with our government leadership and how about all those department heads? Shouldn't they have come forward??

WHY  HEALTH CARE BILL WILL LEAVE YOU STUCK PAYING THE TAB

Well folks tonight a land mark decision has been made and that is to drive a stake into the heart of American Business. Since everyone thinks everything is free we don't have to work anymore and that is where we are going. While the health care bill has some good provisions the majority of the bill will kill.  Of course your local government has destroyed much of the business here and now that the dam is about to burst expect hundreds of more casualties in the unemployment line.  This is very simple.  This bill will raise taxes and put burdens on companies they can't afford.  So they will shutdown or lay off or not hire.  End result is higher taxes, and unemployment and crime.  So expect more of our businesses to close and another factory or two within the next 14 months.  Also expect unemployment to move up to 28-30% by this time next year.  If you have money in the stock market expect a 17% downturn between now and Christmas.   Now lets all go on vacation ---could we borrow a credit card General?

ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT

An individual who is an accessory after the fact receives, shelters, comforts, relieves, or assists a felon after the crime has been committed. A person can be an accessory if they provide any support or assistance, whether financially, emotionally, or factually. Well folks it sounds like a lot of Union people need to turn themselves in. How many of you knew about credit cards-illegal purchases, gun disposals, gun thiefs, kickbacks, etc.? Yes, you too are guilty of a crime. So good advice continues to be turn yourselves in. Donnie is facing 600 years and he wants to stay home. Which do you think he will do save you or save himself?

It has been brought up before but I never heard anything about the
outcome of the investigation.Seems like several Civil War long guns
still packed in original case went missing from our museum,I wonder
what else may be gone as well.

Seems like only two individuals had access to keys,one being the ex-
sheriff whom was defeated by David Taylor.Now there is a
possibility that perhaps the keys may have been stolen and
reproduced without the knowledge of the 2 individuals but with all
the chatter about the guns and ex-sheriff it does make you wonder
as I"m sure someone would pay a handsome bounty for these weapons
from collectors.

Also 2 more things making the rounds at local gossip holes from
Spartanburg to Union I've heard about recently was that ex-sheriff
and his #1 Deputy at the time were running a e-bay store and that
several motorola radios and various other things were sold there
and by the deputy at out of town ham festivals that were possibly
county property at the time.

Also some used bulletproof vest and license to own fully automated
weapons went to some of the ex-sheriffs close friends whom are
private citizens right before change of power between new and old
sheriffs.         

I really don't know what to think about all this but its no
pleasure to tell anyone you are a resident of Union anymore.

TFT PROVES CITY LEADERS WRONG AGAIN

In the following link you can see that a building with 27,000 sq. feet cost Spartanburg 6.1 million dollars.  Also note that this facility is mostly open and doesn't have other expesnseive cost items.   If we pay the same per sq. footage our center will cost, 5. 6 million  dollars.  Sounds like TFT is right on the money as always.  So next time you see your city leaders let em know you read TFT cause you want the truth..........

FIRED UP LADY

Some older sounding lady called up Miks Stevens and said that they should cut out Mike Anthony and his big salary.  Way to go lady.  You are on the right side.  So folks call 427-2411 this Friday at 9am -10am and let Mike and the folks hear your thoughts.

THE WORD AROUND TOWN ABOUT THE CIVIC CENTER

Lots of folks are really upset about your city government and their desire to build a 5 million dollar civic center.  This is why:

1.  Upset with the lie that it will cost 2 million dollars.
2.  Upset about parking.
3.  Upset about location.
4.  Upset about cost to run this per year.
5.  Upset because little return on the investment.
6.  Upset because it will raise taxes.
7.  Upset because it will drive more businesses out of business.
8.  Upset because it will raise the unemployment due to business shutdowns.

So folks don't forget to thank the mayor and city council for driving this city in the ground.  And from what I heard Coach Pitt did,  it tells me heck no it is time to go.

3/18/2010

I will no vote for Andre Bauer, because when he was in the House Representative, He was ask about the closing of Jonesville and Lockhart Schools.  He was in favor of closing both schools.  When ask to meet with the people of Jonesville and Lockhart he refused.  If the School board and superabundant had done there jobs, both schools would be open  today.  Instead of being millions of dollars in debt, This is something that our kids will have to pay off.  By the way Jonesville elementary and lockhart elementary are still open, what have they really accomplished. I am sure it is not what they said they would. Someone needs to look at the numbers other than the accountant.  


3/17/2010

In the indictment for Betenbaugh it was stated that he used county money to buy pool supplies.  These pool supplies were obviously purchased with county credit cards and a particular employee was instructed to purchase these supplies so that Betenbaugh did not have to do it himself.  The report that was issued about the former Supervisor by Walt Wilkins stated that Betenbaugh has fostered an environment of corruption within the County Courthouse.  No joke! and look what these people that worked under Betenbaugh’s supervision are still doing.  The courthouse should be exterminated and those who took part in what was allowed by Betenbaugh should be kicked to the curb.
Good luck General Sinclair you have quite a job before you and you appear to be completely sincere in your duties to this County.  Thank you for your compassion for Union and for your efforts to turn our County back around.  We need your help and I believe if anyone can do it you can.

DOUG GILLIAM MAY BE ABLE TO HELP WITH GUNS

I do not know this guy but someone said something about a pawn shop in Chester. Says he use to own it. Maybe he knows who brought guns to his shop if it was his? Also Donnie Bentenbaugh could help cause he is facing 600 years. I understand Doug and Donnie were real tight. Maybe they discussed this. Also Howard Wells use to work at the sheriff department- he might know something that could help. He would know who he sent if he did to various locations and he might be willing to help out on this investigation. OK sheriff, supervisor, SLED, FBI. We got you started on a good place to start. Maybe some of these folks can help you find out where maybe tens of thousands of county dollars wound up. Also don't forget to check out local pawn shops. They might be able to help too.


3/17/2010

while on my daily jog on the riley rd i passed by coach pitts house, theres a for sale sign in the yard, if i was a teacher and coach here for the past better part of 30 years id sell my house and get out too,

this would all have been avoided had we nto voted against the interstate when they were gonna bring it through here, but hey thats union for you, bass ackwards

What will happen to the people who use the credit cards? I don't get to use them they should be FIRED. Brad You was elected on lies you came to all the black churches when you was campaigning and promise to be back have we saw you ooooooooh no. Not only is Union corrupt it is a RACIST town let's see How many minority people are hired in key position in the county if the General is that great he has not hired one yet. If the General is that great he would clean house just because the past Supervisor approved the Honor System don't make it right they still broke the law and was stealing from the taxpayers and need to be removed from their job. Lets talk about dirty roads Ride out by the High School and look at our great School Board member's business and all the trash on the highway from Lil' Cricket to the High school Clean it up that's what we have people in jail for put them out there and let them clean it up I don';t want to hear the man power thing somebody work there everyday so put them out there to clean it up .

After listening to the Mike Stevens show on WBCU this morning, I would suggest to all taxpaying SC citizens to cast your vote for Andre Bauer for Governor.  He will look out for your best interest and the best interests of the state of SC.  Folks we need help.  Our state and the entire government system is out of whack and we need to get it back in order and to do so we need leaders who are willing to make the change.  We need to go back to old school antics and stop the madness.  If you pay taxes you should appreciate the attitude that Bauer has.  Bauer for Governor!!

ANDRE BAUER LT GOV SAYS SPENDING MONEY FOOLISHLY TO MEET BUDGETS IS WRONG

On the WBCU radio station this morning this is what I understood.  I also agree.  Now why did a local businessman approach Andy Bailey about wasting 250,000 dollars on an extra garbage truck to sit in the city parking lot and go to waste.  It was understood by this businessman that Andy said, "Walker Gallman says it is in the budget."  Well we understand that the businessman pointed out you got a new once already now you want one sitting in the parking lot.  Sounds like we need to tell Walker Gallman---you're fired.   Ok folks let us give it to em and take our city back.  Tell the mayor and city council members and Walker to take a hike cause we are going to put em all out on the streets where they belong cause they are always wrong.

TFT WANTS YOU TO BE PART OF THE  NEW BEGINNING

That is why you can send in your information.  We are still investigating the following:

1. Guns from the sheriff department and how they may have been undervalued and sold. 
2.  Property by those who may have devalued, "incrowd" property and inflated the value of, "unpopular" people.
3.  Consider all property and projects that have occurred in the last 10 years by city and county officials in an effort to enrich others at the expense of the citizens.  We need to look at each of these for  POSSIBLE wrong doings. 
4. Possibility of attempts by city officials to harass citizens when they speak out as  their rights under the Constitution. 
5.  An investigation to see if voter fraud, tampering took place in past elections and who if anyone has been involved.

OK folks it is now time to make changes !  Do we want to continue the path we have been down. The in crowd has to go or we will face more of the times we have been through, so vote for the new face, how much worse could it be. The gun selling is so widely known as to what pawn shop, the owner and who sold them it is so weird why no arrests have been made in this field as the credit card scam was known months ago, so what is FBI waiting on.   When the other names comes out for credit card abuse ,be ready for well known names, some you wouldn't expect as in the pawn shop scam from Chester who lives here in Buffalo and handled the deals. These people need to admit their guilt and move on with life as the FBI will be coming knocking soooon.      

Remember to vote for that new face and give others a chance to do the job the right way.  Come on out General , we are ready for you to steer this county in the right way, we know you will keep us on the right track and uncover  much more as credit card scam, council members getting prime welding jobs, lawyers and investigator  not doing their job,etc. General , you may not be so liked at the court house if you keep medling but how you will loved by the people in Union. . ...

BREAKING NEWS BREAKING NEWS

TFT has just learned from a very reliable source that Brad Valentine was going to be a character witness for Donnie Betenbaugh if he had to go to trial. Please feel free to let the folks know what you think of this? Think about it folks, he was right there with this pack. Why would you want to trust him? I think this needs further investigation. SLED, FBI please go speak to him, maybe he can tell you how good friends he and Donnie were. Valentine also made the comment to some folks that there was nothing illegal going on at the courthouse.  This was said about a month or two before the #$%* hit the fan at the courthouse.  What were Mr. Valentine’s intentions, to cover up corruption or is he that incompetent and blind?

Maybe instead of Valentine running for reelection, he should just resign.  Union County does not need 4 more years of these people on the gravy train.

BREAKING NEWS BROKE OVER A YEAR AGO

http://www.uniondailytimes.com/view/full_story/6718652/article-BREAKING-NEWS-UPDATE--County-employee-resigns-over-accounting-practices--SLED-investigating-?instance=lead_story_left_column

In the above link you can see the snail pace of Sinclair, city, SLED and FBI operatives. TFT broke this information to law enforcement months ago and it is understood Sinclair and Union citizens had been told of this months if not over a year ago. TFT had already conducted its own investigation and let everyone know of the details as they were posted on TFT. So while it seems that these agencies are now just becoming aware let me emphasize that TFT understands that the county may be engaged in illegal activity in the way they have taxed citizens in this county. TFT understands some, "incrowd" folks were taxed at a lower rate and that unpopular people may have been taxed at a higher rate. Who did this I am not sure however this seems to be a fact. Do we have to wait months before an investigation is declared? DO YOU HEAR US NOW MR. SINCLAIR? While you are at it was the mayor's actions legal to use his power to have a citizen arrested for having a sign when other signs were not enforced as I understand it? What about it supervisor, mayor, sheriff, police chief, sled, fbi? Time to clean this coutny/city. We have been leading you folks by the hand long enough. If you want to know the truth then come to TIME FOR TRUTH because we are way ahead of you.

SIGN IRKS THE HECK OUT OF ME

I want to set it clear about a sign. I understand a local business lady which I thought to be a man had a sign on her property. The truth is I did not like the sign as I don't like most signs and wish most would go away. However, for several years I noticed signs just like it all over the city. Well, there was a posting saying something about the city and mayor which was negative. Right after the posting the lady/man was threatened with jail for having an, "illegal" sign while I saw others just yards away and the other citizens were not threatened as I understand. I saw a similar case as I remember the details where city/coutny officials were arrested for misuse of power. It is my position that those that engaged with threat of force have misused their power, and violated these citizen's rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. Therefore it is also my position that they should set the record straight or face fines, and civil sanctions. As you are aware those that took action against these citizens in my opinion have violated the oath of office in which they took to, "uphold the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies foreign and domestic." It is also my belief that since city council is aware of this you are legally bound to hold those that took this action accountable or you will be held accountable as well. In the end if these actions are not taken then civil action against this city could and might be substantial and you the tax payers will pay the price as it is your duty to hold your elected leaders accountable. So the sign that irks me the most is the incompetence of city leadership.

BRAD VALENTINE HAS GOT TO GO

It is time for us to derail Brad since he has been on the gravy train for almost 8 years now. If I am not mistaken for 8 years he has been good friends with Betenbaugh, Wells, Lawson, Morgan and Randell. Now he wants the blessings of the people and God. Where were you when the people wanted you to stand against corruption and mismanagement of government? Where is your voice and now you ask us to put you back in there? Where did you ever stand up and say anything? Weren't you right there rubbing elbows with a pack of thieves or hoodlums? You say you were part of the, "team." Why should we trust you? Well, I don't trust you, and as far as I am concerned folks this Valentine has no heart. Union can do better than him---vote anybody but Valentine.

TFT READY TO LAUNCH NEW GUN INVESTIGATION

General Sinclair, Sheriff Taylor, SLED and FBI we are ready to launch another phase of our investigation. We have inquiry minds that want to know. Please investigate and report back to the people. It has been understood by many that guns from the sheriff office were sold to pawn dealers for undervalue and then bought back by person or persons unknown so they could make profit while the county lost money. We do not know if this was true but it seems to be a Union Legend. We would like to see it announced that an investigation is underway. If you are having trouble finding information just put it on the web and we can direct you

I know that the city of union thinks that they own everything, and in fact they do own the roads (granted we the ones that pay the taxes on them) But do they honeslty think that they own the houses and property off of those city roads?? The city has a contract company putting in new sewer lines in buffalo, and without permission of anyone on the road, the have bust through yards and houses, parked their vehicles in our driveways, and have blatant disrespect for anyone who lives here. I returned home this afternoon to discover five people underneath my house, with absolutely no permission to be there since there was noone home at the time. Do they own the property or have any rights to be on it much less be underneath my house? I have no driveway due to their tractors that have been parked in my driveway for three weeks without moving, I have torn up my yard due to having no where to park, and now I must park down the road and haul three children up the road to my house until they decide to get out of my yard. Seems to me that the city of union will just do whatever they want at the expense of us measely tax payers. I think its time we take a stand for ourselves. Not only do they raise our power bills to hundreds of dollars but then they come wreck our yards too? And sadly, the mayor does not care. Welcome to Union the city of hospitality??! what a joke!
