1. Do you support the county’s current two-school system, or should the Mooresville Graded School System be eliminated and rolled into the Iredell-Statesville Schools System?
I strongly support the county's current two-school system. They should not be consolidated.
2. How can you help fix a “broken” NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT)? There is not adequate funding for local projects, nor for any this side of I-95 (Piedmont and Western NC)? Our “transportation infrastructure” is overburdened as it is. How will you direct NCDOT to address and prioritize our local concerns?
I would start by not allowing hundreds of millions of dollars to be taken out of the Highway Trust Fund to cover the General Fund expenditures. Over the last several years over 1 billion dollars has been siphoned off from the Highway Trust Fund. That would have paid for a lot of transportation infrastructure here and in other areas in the Piedmont and West. My opponent has voted for a budget that robbed the Highway Trust Fund of a hundred million dollars to fund non-transportation expenditures. My opponent also voted for a redistricting plan that significantly weakened Iredell County in Raleigh and made it much more difficult for our priorities to be funded.
3. How will you help insure state cooperation in storm water and water/sewer issues such as interbasin transfers and “regional” cooperative initiatives to provide necessary services for our overburdened infrastructure?
I would convene local and state government leaders into Regional groups to develop infrastructure planning. I would pay for it by using funds in the six hundred million Golden Leaf Foundation. Now it's being used as another Raleigh slush fund. For example, wasting two hundred thousand dollars studying goats. Unlike Karen Ray, I oppose raising taxes.

Grey Mills, Grey Mills. Did you see the lies that he put out on Saturday in his mailer. He was referring to a bill that was nothing more than a correction on verbage. As anyone should know, Karen Ray would NEVER vote to give illegal aliens drivers licenses. No competent republican would. Just another cover-up by Mr. Grey Mills. If he does win, he will not have the support of many once the word is out. You can bet that. But I doubt if he has a chance.
If Grey Mills wins, he'll be too busy "reporting" to his father-in-law, Randy Marion, to get anything done for the rest of us out here. Forget about it.
There should be a recount in this race. It was way too close to not (100 votes or so?).
Karen Ray was bad, I'm very happy she is gone.
