Truck Center Would Benefit Meadowview

Some trucks in small fleets pay $7,000 in road taxes each quarter. These trucks have emission standards they have to follow. If large trucks carrying goods parked for 30 days and made no deliveries, people would go hungry.

Do the trains going through Meadowview and Emory not pollute?

What about the black smoke from farmers’ tractor exhaust? They work constantly to pay taxes in the fall. This black smoke is our survival.

Would Abingdon, Va., want to lose its revenue from the Barter Theatre? In the late 1940s the Delps combined grain for Mr. Bob Porterfield’s farm. He gave the workers free tickets. Others wanting to go to the shows could barter vegetables, fruit or hams. Look at it today!

Would the people of Meadowview like to wake up to a hog farm packing house distributor as in Iowa or Kansas? You ain’t smelled nothing yet! The hog smell is no Blue Waltz perfume.
We hauled hogs to packing houses in Delaware, Pennsylvania and North Carolina to distribution centers.

If the truck center business proposed in Meadowview will be honest and for the people, then I’m all for it. There’s nothing that can’t be fixed if we work together and want it bad enough.

People in this world get so angry because they don’t get what they want (not what they need). It’s a wonder they don’t start growing a new set of teeth.

Who checked their odometer to see how many tenths of a mile it is between where beer is being sold and the school parking lot?

What if a school bus was pulling out from the school parking lot and got hit by a drunken driver?

Be honest and make good choices.

Petro seems to be doing well.
