Spam, the pork product in a can, debuted in 1937, and World War II spread its fame, such as it is, around the globe. Spam, the unsolicited email message, debuted this month in 1978, and the World Wide Web has spread its infamy everywhere. The first cyberspam was an invitation to a computer system demonstration sent to the few existing email addresses over ARPANET, the Internet’s precursor. Almost 16 years later, commercial spam first coursed through the worldwide web. In April 1994, a pair of Arizona lawyers advertised their immigration assistance services to thousands of Usenet groups. The negative blowback crashed the hosting ISP servers. At the time, only about a quarter of U.S. households had personal computers. Now, over 85 percent are so equipped, and 80 percent access the Internet. Profile America is beginning its 20th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

From ABC11 News: “Henderson Road is so muddy; School buses won’t drive down it”. So who is the “Private” owner of Regina Lane in Vance County? I guess this could fall into the “certificate of occupancy” that your so-called leaders decided was not good? How dumb are your elected officials or how dumb is the electorate in Vance County? The icing on the cake was a voicemail sent by a principal at an elementary school notifying parents that the children could be picked up on the other road? The one that’s paved!!! FOOL…..if the parents had the transportation to take the kids to another road then the vast majority would drive their kids to school!!! I like how he tried to put the blame on the bus garage. Nice!! Seems as if that’s the M.O. of most of the folks in Vance County who are in charge of making decisions.
So who is the landlord of the rental properties on the muddy road? Hmmmmmm…………

well, no, this would not fall into the CO for two reasons, 1. CO was a city minimum housing ordinance, I think this is County, and 2. CO relates to housing only, not surrounding areas. However, the issue here is lax County planning/subdivision requirements that would make owners/developer responsible for road maintenance.
mingo..you are correct that Regina Lane is indeed in the county. But, a #slumlord is a #slumlord regardless of whether they are in the city or the county. It would safe to say that I’m quite sure the #slumlord doesn’t reside on Regina Lane!!

not sure who originally built/developed this area, but look up all the properties there and then check the Secretary of State site( corporations) to see who owns individual rentals. Whoa, a list of local landlords.
vancecounty.org website–go to Taxes-then to property –type in the street–31 listings, some for individuals, some from corporations–good hunting.
There are muddy, rutty, unpaved side roads right here in Henderson. There is no excuse except the ones responsible refuse accountability. They’ve run Henderson according to their wants, not the needs of the people. Just like the ‘big’ government.
So who owns the trailer park on that rd? I went to the website but didn’t see a link for taxes. It’s public info. so you don’t have to be scared to post the name of the SLUMLORD!!! Whoever it is should be ashamed b/c they are too CHEAP to buy some gravel!!!

Not sure Decept. Something called Roberts Sammie Lamont owns one property there, and it’s currently for sale. RSL is not listed as a corporation on the SOS website. I don’t know, but I’m curious. When I worked as a a tax accountant in Henderson, I did work work for many owners of rental property.
Publius…that may be the name listed but many of these SLUMLORDS have made up a variety of “LLC’s” in an attempt to keep their govt. name from being linked to the dumps they make $$ off of. You only have to do a lil’ more research & you can find out most of the “SLUMLORDS” actually live quite comfortably in your country club area & most are “silver spoon babies”…..meaning mommy & daddy left the properties or the $$$ to buy the dumps to lil’ johnny or lil’ susie. These silver spoon babies haven’t worked a day in their lives unless you consider playing bridge @ the club a job!!

Claiming that most of the “slumlords” are members of the HCC might fit into your anti-Henderson narrative, but it’s not true. Most are small businessmen just trying to make a buck. I’d imagine they’d like to join one day, but right now they’re mortgaged to the hilt. And remember, unlike you, I know what I’m talking about.
Not all the slumlords are HCC members or silver spooners, true. But you’re saying most of the slumlords are “small businessmen just trying to make a buck”, which, to me, is a far worse portrait of Henderson than just having an elite greedy few. And as for those silver spooners, most of them actually do have careers beyond the Club. Slumlords exist at all economic levels. We have become a nation without ethics.
Zep is correct on the issue of ethics.. Some are of upper income, properties handed down, some new ‘entrepreneurs’, some middle class trying to invest and make a buck, some really run as a business and invest in it, many just renting until the rent runs dry………. Saw one foreclosure recently where the landlord just let a property go (assuming for taxes), then a ‘family member’ buys the property back for next to nothing at the courthouse door. You think that one is going back on the For Rent list? A suspect way to avoid taxation I guess.
