Chatham tax survey was unscientific
[Mar. 12, 2010] I too felt the Chatham tax survey was unscientific with its pre-question "narrative" post on the chatlist and leading questions. It would have been much improved with a neutral party creating the questions in an un-biased way. There really was no way to quantify the data collected. By Rita Marley-McKenzie [In Opinion]

Upcoming beef quality assurance training program
[Mar. 7, 2010] Many of you will remember during 1997-98 there was the initiative called the North Carolina Certified Beef Producer Program also called Southeast Pride, which encouraged producers to not only vaccinate and more actively manage their animals, but also the proper methods for doing this. Unfortunately, this program never really got off the ground the way that the organizers had hoped it would have. By Sam Groce [In News]

Surveys like the Chatham tax survey help keep those that care informed
[Mar. 7, 2010] My opinion is that Tom is being unfairly criticized for posting the survey. Tom has been a wealth of knowledge and information for the chatlist. I admire him. I think he is well within his right to post the survey. And as I would suspect, there will be those out there that wish taxpayers wouldn't pay attention to what our elected officials are doing with our money. By Steve Candelori [In Opinion]

I appreciate the effort behind the Chatham taxpayer survey
[Mar. 6, 2010] I greatly appreciate the effort behind the survey, though I did find some of the yes/no type questions at the end rather difficult to answer mainly because the issue presented is much more complex than just a yes/no reply. By Michael E. Burke [In Opinion]

Survey of Chatham taxpayers is one-sided
[Mar. 6, 2010] While I applaud anyone who asks for accountability in government, I have to comment on Tom Glendinning's survey. I took the survey, and found it to be very one sided, especially the last question. An unbiased survey would have included more boxes for "need more information". By Janet Place [In Opinion]
