It appears that Judge Ervin's rulings regarding the case were compromised by the fact that he was aware that his ex-wife was dating a paramedic when he took the case. Not only a conflict, but also an embarrassment to his party, family, and county. If Ron Lewis and the Republican commissioners had this information at the time of the judges ruling, they sure could have used it to his advantage. Hey Judge, throw them a bone, but don't give them what they really deserve. If you do we will all lose our jobs! Including you judge swervin ervin. Jack Carroll and the Abele family will stoop to no end to deceive the citizens of Burke County. I wouldn't put anything past them. Here’s some news regarding Burke County paramedics lawsuit.

The Burke County Commission together with the Morganton City Council authorized an incentives package valued at $172,520 to Henredon Furniture in May. The payout will be calculated by job creation and capital investment at the furniture company’s Morganton plant. Henredon planned to close its Spruce Pine plant in neighboring McDowell County in April, wrote the company vice president for human resources to the Burke County Manager Ron Lewis and his counterpart at the city of Morganton, Sally Sandy, adding that the incentives grants would help the company restructure. “While we are sorry to hear about the closing in Spruce Pine, we are proud to see your company continuing to compete in today’s market with US labor,” Lewis and Sandy replied. “We value Henredon as a good corporate friend and wish to aid you in your efforts by offering economic incentives based on both jobs creation and investment in our community.” Low return on the investment While elected officials in Winston-Salem could comfort themselves that they were authorizing incentives grants for administrative jobs while the company was eliminating production jobs, officials in Burke County had to admit they were paying the company to create the same jobs it was destroying in the next county over.

Maybe the local party meeting is where the real policy is made. If 20 or 30 new "Republicans" joined could you then make a difference?

I don't know the details. I hope they didn't die because of inexperience by the people involved. I'm sure they did their best under the difficult situation that the county commissioners have put them in. If they did die when they didn't have to, their families have Ron Lewis and the Republican county commissioners to thank. Perhaps someone will show this article to the family after they have time to grieve. Who knows, depending on the details, they may look into it and file a lawsuit...

That is a question that they recently asked. If they don't understand the different functions of these 2 departments, can you imagine their thoughtless process when they sit down and allocate money that is needed to save lives.
