This morning in the Hernando Today, Robert Nolte ran an open letter from L. Joe Strickland who is a current county commissioner from Avery County, North Carolina. This 20-point letter by Mr. Strickland was his prescription plan for spending cutbacks. No one can argue with some of his excellent points, like stopping unfunded mandates, and considering a zero based budgeting process. This article really perked my interest on two levels. The first was Mr. L. Joe Strickland's very conservative approach to running government; secondly, that Commissioner Strickland, of Avery County North Carolina is a winter resident in Hernando County. My curiosity got the best of me so I researched Mr. Strickland on the Internet. The Avery County Commission of North Carolina lists Mr. L. Joe Strickland residence as 353 Lakeview Rd. Newland, NC 28657. The Hernando County Property Appraiser lists a Louie J. Strickland in Timber Pines, with a mailing address of 353 Lakeview Rd., Newland, NC 28657. Mr. L. Joe Strickland of North Carolina appears to be the same person residing in Timber Pines who lists his name as Louie J. Strickland. A question for Mr. Strickland would be, "How can you be a county commissioner in North Carolina also take a $25,000.00 Homestead Exemption on your Timber Pines property?" Is this just another case of a politician being above the law?
