RFP Staff/Rowan-Salisbury Redistricting Preliminary Investigations
♦ Rowan-Salisbury Schools Redistricting “Research” Posted Here. Is This Research Legitimate? Does a “Conflict of Interest” Exist? A through investigation of the PDF document posted below reveals some extremely large flaws in this alleged research. The first flaw, immediately ending any claim of this being legitimate independent research, is the fact that those putting this research were hired by the school system. They are being paid by the Rowan-Salisbury Schools. Without quibbling about the pseudo-scientific name dropping, this research is exactly like the “research” and testimonials churned out by multi-level-marketing vitamin supplement companies or by scam energy-water companies touting lead or cadmium as the missing links in human health and well-being. The projection claims for Salisbury gaining human life forms and for the Southern end of the County losing people is absurd. The Southern end of the county is rapidly growing and will no doubt grow more with the coming I-85 Interchange and the county’s water/sewer plans. Salisbury is almost flat-lined in growth except for the small influx of economic underachievers. Young people and the working class are outward bound. Rapidly so.
This redistricting research appears to be a covert form of “forced annexation”–Salisbury’s last gasp at forcing people toward the Bury. The folks out in the county are not going to be forced in–they will move away to less corrupt, less crime infested, less taxed, less meth, heroin, and crack, and to school systems that care more about children and teachers than do about running up the costs of unrequired school buildings so some no bid contractors and a few school employees can line their pockets. Do I hear Mooresville? Concord? And other far more livable places.
