Stokes County (NC) Commissioner Jimmy Walker: Conservative Republican or a RINO???
This is what Denise Petree (Editor of The Stokes News) wrote in an editorial titled, "Tour of schools reveals the good, the bad, the ugly."
Wasn't it a few weeks ago that Jimmy was saying he wanted the county to look into keeping the health clinic open in King??? Why is it that politicians around here run as conservatives, and once elected, they start acting like liberals???
County Commissioner Jimmy Walker said he would not oppose more funding for schools. Citing needed changes in how the state requires counties to pay a portion of Medicaid, Walker said, "It gives us an opportunity to fund schools and I would rather do that than cut the tax rate a couple of cents."
From what I saw on the tour, Walker has the right idea.

I don't know that I had any illusions of Jimmy Walker being a conservative. As far as I could tell, he was going to be no worse than Howard Mabe. In that regard at least, I haven't been disappointed. I long for the day when some brave (but probably foolish) person runs for office on a platform that includes elimination of the public schools.
