Horry County ABATEHi all,

Well, the holidays are just around the corner and there is a lot going on here in Horry county. I just received a letter from our lawyer Tom McGrath stating that he anticipates that we will be in court on the helmet ticket issue some time in January or February 2010. I will keep you posted on any updates pertaining to this matter.

Well, the elections are over, and we are going to be in deep do do. We have John Rhodes for another four years. I really don’t know what happened. Every business owner, employee, resident, and biker in Myrtle Beach I have spoken to in the last year wanted Rhodes out, and yet he still won the election. Sounds fishy to me. The ethics commission has now started to look into the shady campaign contributions given to Rhodes and his cronies. Maybe that will help, but I doubt it.

Yes, the shooting that was wrongly blamed on bikers, and led the Myrtle Beach council to try to stop the rallies.  Instead of finding out the truth, and enforcing the existing laws during the rallies, that was their "solution".
