Beaufort County Schools are building a new school on the same ground where Eastern Elementary already exists, at a cost of $10,500,000.00 to Beaufort County's Taxpayers. Is this a wise expense of taxpayer dollars at this time?

21.28% Yes, Beaufort County has been awarded a 42 million dollars of grant money from the state of North Carolina (FREE MONEY) to construct school at 3.00 per squ. ft.

68.09% No, this is the wrong time, to build the wrong school, on the wrong placement - its lowest point - of Eastern Elementary's existing location, when community schools work best.

10.64% Why should I care about the public's education?

    Rep. John R. Bradford III, R-Mecklenburg, made it official Thursday by announcing his run for the state treasurer's office.

    In a tweet, Bradford said, "My experience as Sr, Chair of the NC House Finance Committee will serve me well while overseeing the financial operations of NC's state government. I want to make a great state even greater."

    Last month, he said he was considering a run for the office after elected officials, lobbyists, and business owners encouraged him over the past few months to think about running after it was mentioned to him that Republican N.C. State Treasurer Dale Folwell may announce his own run for governor.

    Bradford said he would maintain the integrity and health of the state pension plan by making intelligent investments and continuing to grow the pension plan. It will ensure that state employees are rewarded for all of the hard work they gave to the state.

    Bradford, the business owner of Mooresville-based Petscreening.com, was first elected to the General Assembly in 2014. He was also previously employed as a sales manager and sales executive with IBM and as an environmental engineer with ExxonMobil.
