Special thanks to Jim Robinson (FR’s founder), all FReepers who submitted questions, those who assisted in setting up this thread, and of course Commissioner Irey and her staff for agreeing to appear here this evening.
On behalf of Mr. Robinson and the entire Free Republic community, welcome Commissioner Irey. Before we start with the questions, please take a minute or two to make an opening statement.
This was great. Thank you very much for putting this together.
I sent her a hundred bucks last week.
great interview,
from a great new congressperson
(dang i missed it live I just got home from work at 9 and gotta be back at 3 am )
Most county's are sustained by sales taxes. If unemployment has dropped 18%, then it stands to reason that sales taxes will increase. But she doesn't really say why or what initiatives were taken to make unemployement drop. Some areas naturally develop because of their proximity to something that is growing. Some lag.
I understand there were computer problems. But what does that say when there is a simple forum and they are having problems responding to the questions posed. Were they using an old 286 computer?
Look, this isn't a rant against her or her candidacy. But there wasn't a single answer that gave a genuine insight to her candidacy and what she is bringing to the table to address the questions or issues on the minds of supporters, or even more important her constituents. And sadly, folks from her district were largely not heard from.
Any real chance this bum wil lose?
