Don Bowen is challenged by Tom Dobbins for SC House of Representatives – District 8.

Dr. Tom Dobbins proposes the following:

• Work to overhaul the entire state tax structure, with the goal of reducing the burden on the middle class.
• Upgrade our roads and bridges.
• Work toward providing affordable, accessible, and reliable health care.
• Create a public education system that inspires our students.

Mr. Don Bowen has refused to talk to me personally, since he discovered that I write on the Cocklebur Forum. However, based on comments he made in public meetings, I have come to the following understanding concerning his position on issues:

• Work to eliminate property taxes.
• Work toward education reform by fine tuning administrative costs, so we can put more money in the class room.
• Create standardized construction planning of schools, to ensure tax dollars are being spent efficiently.
• Create a fair business environment to encourage higher paying jobs to come to our community.

Bowen is seems rooted in reality, Dobbins seems to be chasing a pipe dream.

What I find interesting is that Bowen refused to speak with you Art simply because you write on the Cocklebur. What is he afraid of? If anything, this would be a suitable vehicle for getting a message across to folks.

As for Dobbins . . . the public education/inspire me thing . . . well, that's call good parenting. All the inspiration I needed was knowing that failing grade = butt whoopin'

The jury is still out for me . . .

I don't know why anyone would refuse to talk to you because you post on the Cocklebur. You only post positive assets of anyone I have seen you mention.

I do think there may be a misunderstanding between Rep. Bowen and yourself.  There is no reason for him to refuse to speak to any citizen of our county.  I also believe that Dr. Dobbins is an outstanding individual who has much to offer our area.
