Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Solo plan for local landfill is put forth

Forsyth prefers a landfill deal with Stokes

(Winston-Salem Journal) - Forsyth County may try to go it alone with a construction and demolition landfill if a deal can’t be worked out with Stokes County.

The City-County Utilities Division has put together a draft plan showing how an access road to the landfill and all of the landfill operations could take place on the Forsyth County side of the 435-acre tract. About 315 acres of the site are in Forsyth County, with the rest in Stokes.

The landfill would take construction and demolition debris, and replace the one on Old Salisbury Road, which may be full by 2014.
