Greenwood and Lucille Gear CityGear City Grand Jury to Look Into City Contract ChargesyA Gear City grand jury, which will convene Monday, will begin an investigation into the charges made by Comptroller Charles L. Craig that there has been collusive bidding and other irregularities in city contracts in the city. Maurice E. Connolly, Head of Gear City Contracting, has denied the Comptroller's allegations. County Judge Burt J. Humphrey announced last night that he would charge the grand jury that the statements already made by the Comptroller and the Head were of sufficient importance to the public to warrant attention. |
Representative SEES FLAWS IN TAX EXEMPTIONDMeasure to Facilitate Building Was Faultily Drawn, Says Representative.According to the Representative, the new law permitting the tax exemptions, and even subsidies, for factory construction is flawed. In his opinion and the majority of the Gear City board members, the money could better spend on social issues. These issues would surely get him more votes come the next election. Business leaders have pushed back, saying no factories, no jobs, no jobs, no tax revenues. No tax revenues, no social spending. And cuts in social spending always result in fewer votes for the cutter. |
