**Taking advantage of a dissabled person**

I would like to know if anyone has some information about the new homes that are being built next to the Family Dollar, but nothing has been done to it in almost a year. I was at the sitelast week and it looks to be falling apart, What do you knowand what do you think?

its a mess

Well those homes are falling apart due to council members not being able to approve the road coming in between family dollar and the furniture store. It was a big stink and still is under legal battle I think. The woman that was buolding them used her own PERSONAL money to buold these homes that were to be used for elderly persons. Of course she is BLACK... and of course she has no pull on the council .. who i might add that a few are buisness owners in the area or own land or have some intrest in that area. Its a mess. We really need a revamp of council in both county and town. Hampton has really gone to the dogs and its getting no better.

RE: its a mess

That wasn't very nice. I agree that the council needs to be revamped/replaced with people who have the best interest of the FUTURE of Hampton instead of trying to make a retirement community for themselves. However, I find it hard to believe that race has anything to do with the facts of the matter.--- Before you sink  money into any endeavor, cover all of your bases. She should have made sure that she actually had right of way passage to that property BEFORE she built anything. Thats what the rest of us had to do when we bought our own personal and/or business properties.   The race card doesn't apply here.

**New Construction**

This goes to grg, From my understanding  the owner of the property payed some people in Hampton Sc to take care of everything from buying land & building the homes for her family.  I"m no lawyer but the entire thing seems to be a little  shadie & underhanded, it's wrong how they just took advantage of a disabled woman and her hard earned money. I also agree,  this  town needs some NEW  Council members because some of them have some real problems with in them to work on ...

ok ok

I must admit I was a little angy when I said the "black" thing... but I do believe it was because of who she was... I mean she knows nobody on the board. Its almost as if though they didnt want her there. And someone also told me that the persons who did the water connections and all were the same people who got fired for doing jobs under the radar with the towns equiptment. And boy do I have a story about that also... posting that now! its time for people to get it together and get right!

ok ok

I have been looking for your new post and it seems like you know alot about this subject, please fill me in. I have been trying to get all the info I can.

** New Construction**

I would like to say Thanks to kemille77 for answering my question about the construction site, I do agree with you to some point. But I also think everyone has taken advantage of this old woman. With a little digging I found out that, Hanpton was her home town and she was trying to build homes for her and her children to relocate there. But I have no ther information after that. Please keep me updated!

Hampton's Issues

Being a fellow Hamptonian myself, I'm sure she understands that there are unscrupulous individuals within our town that are only looking our for themselves and their own interests. The Bible speaks best when it says one will reap WHATEVER one sows. These gentlemen and gentleladies will reap everything that they have sown in an ill-nature towards this woman's goals. Hampton has so much room to grow in order to catch up with the less primal areas within our civilization. I'm not bashing our town, but speaking the truth.

Prays God  Gordon30, You are all so right.  It"s  just I see this woman had something good going and now when I drive by all I see is sadness and a dissabled persons dreams falling apart with the homes. If nothing is done soon I thinks I will try and bring in the media outside of Hampton. Oprah would love a story like this. As a matter of fact I think I will contact every news paper and T.V. show I can just to try and help this old woman... Someone has to stir the pot and get the water boiling. And I thjink it"s me !!!Watch OUT HAMPTON THE DRIVER IS COMING YOUR WAY!!!  LOL....

Taking advantage of a dissable person

I too have lived in Hampton, SC most of my life and me and my Mother have rode by that site several times and such a shame.  I also agree that we need to do away with our Mayor, Town and County Counsel and get some new people that wants to help Hampton County and not destroy it the way they have.  I could use some names on our counsel but it would only harm my Mother and if you do not think they will do it, just try them.  I also agree with all that have said they only want to get what they can from the poor people who have tried to do what is right for Hampton, SC.  Hampton County, please open your eye's and see what is going on.  I would call some names but that would only bring harm to my Mother so I will not do at this time but should the time comes, I promise each and everyone in Hampton, SC, names will be called and there is nothing they can do to me as I can make it miserable for them.  Please Hampton, SC, help that Lady that lost all her money for our Town and County members to get plenty of money.  By the way, I ask each and everyone in Hampton County to ride by the Old Armory and take a look at it.  I am proud to say that me, my Father and Friends spend many hours at that facility and I have even asked our town, so called leaders, to assist me in getting to the right person to call and clean it up but again, the only answer I got was, not our trouble, call someone else for your help.  Such a darn shame as I know so many of you have loved ones that have trained at that place but please, just ride by it now and see what you think.  Me and my Best Friend, Tommy Skinner have done all we can but it appears, no one cares how it looks or what it meant to me, my Father and my old time soldiers.  I am really not afraid to say who I am but only care for my Mother, whome will catch hell for this message.

Who will pay ?

I "m so happy to see that someone in Hampton Sc still has some balls to stand up , thanks larrybelger. Well I have been doing my homework and I found out who the woman is and her contact information. She does not want anyone to give her anything she just wants what she payed for done.I don"t think that is to much to ask for do you? I will  also will find out who the Builder was and put them on blast, because everyday I pass that site and it is a shame the way it is all falling apart. I even had a few words with the City inspector and he said the quailty of the work there was poor. And from my understanding the City  & who ever sold her the land has problems and the City wants her to pay for it. Oh! We have a Black President and Free speech and I will use it, to get this story out  so this woman can move into her home that has been sitting for over 3 years.  How would you fill if you payed over ONE MILLION DOLLARS CASH$$$$$$$$ for your dream home and now it"s all gone and all you have is some broken down homes...Mmmmmmmm

ok ok

Kemille77 , I would like to know if you or anyone else that reads this  has any ideas how we can collectively help this woman, I would be willing to do all that I can. Please get back to me
