New Blog seeks To Gain Access To IP Addresses?

Posted below is the response Mr. Rackley has posted on his new blog titled "Giles free speech blog"

notice that his blog is only one word different from mine.

Mr. Rackley claims that he started his new blog because he could not post this response on the 

"GILES FREE SPEECH ZONE" blog. 

Being an accomplished computer person who supposedly makes a living on his computer skills it seems extremely unbelievable that Mr. Rackley could not scan, cut and paste or type this same information on here as he did on his blog. It seems like it would take the exact same number of keystrokes on either blog. 

As a frequent reader of this blog Mr. Rackley would be well aware that he could have simply asked, and his request would have been granted, to have a tread dedicated to his subject. 

My belief is that Mr. Rackley chose to set up his new blog with a similar name so that he could learn the IP Addresses of those who would visit his blog and then with his connections at PES he would be able to identify the owners of those IP Addresses without having to obtain a court order. I would suggest that anyone seeking information from Mr. Rackley's blog access it from a computer at the library in order to protect their idenity.

One other thing that should be of great interest is when you read this "response" from Mr. Rackley notice the complete lack of any specific documentation to support his fanciful claims. 

I have no problem expressing appreciation to Mr. Rackley for his contributions to the county, I have no ax to grind with him, I don't know him well enough to like or dislike him on a personal level, to me the entire issue is the waste and extravagant spending of taxpayer money by the EDC and its director and the attitude shown toward those who would seek an openness about this organization that answers to no county or city entity. 

Perhaps someone could explain the difference in Mr. Rackley's statement "we cut our expenses" and the statement "we cut our budget"? As for his claim that "at this time last year we reviewed the 2011-2012 in detail with the County Commission and I felt we cleared up anything that was misunderstood by them" 

It wasn't misunderstandings that needed to be explained but the total request that continue to grow each year. The reason there was any effort to explain anything to the Commissioners was because they threatened to cut EDC last year. One big falsehood told at that meeting was that the County HAD to fully fund the EDC request, WRONG. 

Looks Like The Capitol Brands Deal Has Fallen Through

It a sad thing I report but the Capitol Brands folks have informed the EDC that their project has hit a dead end. They could not come up with the needed 25 million dollars needed and thus the project is finished.

As a strong supporter of the waste water treatment facility at the interstate/Bypass I had been very hopeful that this project would be a great asset to the county, while this is a huge set back I hope that it will not be an end to the development of the long overdue development of this area and the vast potential it hold with the completion of the waste water project.
