SHOCKING NEWS: Will Smith Dead

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 12:41 PM PDT

This is terrible news:

Former NFL defensive lineman Will Smith was shot and killed in an apparent road rage incident in New Orleans late Saturday, authorities said.

New Orleans Coroner Jeffrey C. Rouse confirmed early Sunday the male victim in the double shooting was Smith, 34, according to WVUE-TV. Police said the shooting occurred around 11:30 p.m. in the Lower Garden District at the intersection of Sophie Wright Place and Felicity Streets.

The alleged gunman, Cardell Hayes, 29, was charged with second-degree murder on Sunday.

Investigators said Smith and his wife were driving a Mercedes Benz SUV eastbound on Sophie Wright Place when he was rear-ended by an individual driving a Hummer H2. The collision caused the Mercedes to hit a Chevrolet Impala traveling along the same street, The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported.

New Orleans Police Department spokesman Juan Barnes said Smith and the driver of the Hummer got into a confrontation over the accident when the driver of the Hummer pulled out a handgun and "shot (Smith) multiple times and his wife twice in the right leg."

This is an unspeakable tragedy. Smith spent his entire career with the Saints and was part of their 2010 Super Bowl Championship squad. He is survived by his wife and three children.

How Well Do You Know About Ted Cruz's History or Policies?

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 06:00 AM PDT

By Thornton Crowe

Everyone sees on the news the bickering going back and forth between Cruz and Donald Trump now days. It's no secret that Trump believes Cruz is a liar. Lyin' Ted. But have you ever asked yourselves why this moniker has taken on a life of it's own?

Let's forget about the sex scandal articles in the National Enquirer, the DC Madam scandal and the bashing about his nefarious allegiance to a minister who wants to execute gays. There's more to this situation than most would like to admit. And it's time, if you really wanted to be an informed, responsible voter, you investigated as I did why Ted Cruz shouldn't become our President in any way.


China & Trade

Ted Cruz supports the already in place trade deals with China and Mexico, which have damaged Americans financially for two decades since first truly implemented with the Clintons. In an interview with political commentator, Laura Ingram, he came right out and said he was for the status quo for which Ingram chastised him with facts and a dig on his Harvard education. She is quite clear. Listen to her interview.



Immigration

There has been a bit of ambiguous stance where Cruz is concerned on immigration. While he has been stealing Trump's Wall and Deportation platform as of late, his history in the Senate has denoted a much different tale, which is quite disturbing. If you watch the video with Bret Baier here, you will see Cruz actually becomes nervous when Baier asks him about his actions of yesteryear verses his stances today.

In Gang of 8, Cruz repeatedly said he wanted the bill to pass. This is the same bill that granted amnesty and allowed more working visas from foreign countries at the expense of American workers, whom have suffered devastated loss due to the foreign workers coming in and taking their jobs. Remember Disney with the workers who had to train their replacements? Well, this is all part of the same ball of Gang of 8.

While Cruz tries weakly to defend himself, he falls flat when talking about his amendments. It got so bad during the interview that Baier asks him which stance should voters believe? For or against? As both have come out of his mouth and through action, it is hard to ascertain his true stance. However, his wife, Heidi has been fighting for the New World Order nonsense which would strip America of sovereignty and merge us with the continent - Mexico, USA and Canada. This would also erase our Constitution and Bill of Rights by clustering us under the United Nations authority. Meaning we are a country NO MORE.

As you all know, Ryan passed the Omnibill last year that has provided money for 300,000 refugees from Syria to infiltrate our communities and do pretty much what they're doing in Europe. No more late night trips to Checker's as rape and pillage have become the norm in Europe now that refugees have been allowed to take over communities and terrorize citizens.

Donations and Financial Support

Going along with the whole NWO comes George Soros. He is the rich guy who has been causing all kinds of trouble in order to get his gal pal, Hillary Clinton, elected as well as paying BLM and other protestors at Trump events. Why? Because Soros fully supports NWO as it helps him get a few more billions and yields him astronomical power over Americans.

Another issue that's come to surface is this: Cruz goes around tooting about Trump's donations to Clinton during her 2008 primary campaign and other Democrats but he omits a few very interesting facts about Trump's donations. First, he got a REFUND from the Clinton campaign and when tallying up the donations (9 in total) his family members gave money to Clinton; therefore, he gave her one (1) donation. (Fully refunded.)

Second, Ted himself got money from Cruz along with a cute little snapshot of him shaking Trump's hand when he got his check (no refund reported). Trump not only contributed to his campaign but also his little buddies, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. It is true, Trump has given to many politicians on the Right and Left. He gave money to Reagan, both Bushes and the Clintons. As a businessman trying to work with legislature and other bureaucracy, most businessmen and women will atest, it's a good thing to have politicians who owe you a favor. It also is good for public relations. In business this is common not the extraordinary.

Third, Ted's law firm in Texas also gave to both Obama's presidential campaigns. Yes, you read that right. He contributed to Democrats, too. Yet, he makes Trump out to be some Leftist pig for doing what he, himself, has done without an ounce of acknowledgement to the hypocrisy in his meme.

Fourth, it seems that Cruz is now in some pretty hot water with his own fundraising efforts. While he decries that he is not in with the SUPERPACs that have focused much effort and cash against Trump, many have found that he has directed these PACs personally. There has been large transfers of money between them at his direction. Seems like he has some explaining to do in court as some cases have been filed against him.

As seen in Politico, he has blatantly broken the law in his manipulation of SuperPACs.
 
Senatorial Voting for Relief

Ted Cruz voted against relief for Sandy victims, 9/11 victims and also for extension of benefits for veterans. Yes, that's right. He promotes making illegal aliens the benefactors of what should go to the men and women who have fought for our freedom! This is all a matter of public record! It's not that difficult to find.

"I'm an Outsider..." 

Don't let that outsider moniker fool you. Cruz and Heidi worked for George H. Bush during his election and they both got some pretty spiffy appointments as a reward for their election efforts. In fact, it's the beginning of the Cruz love story. That's how they met, fell in love and set up homestead. Now, Neil Bush (the black sheep Bush who was convicted of embezzling billions of taxpayers' money in the S&P scandal) is on Cruz's campaign team and both Bush brothers are assisting in Cruz's campaign. Last but not least, if Lindsey Graham (SC-R) endorses you after telling people on the Senate floor he'd love it if someone would 'knock you off,' (not to mention Soros whose also donated to Kasich and Clinton) you're establishment through and through.

In conclusion, it seems that over last week, since the big cheat in Wisconsin (look up the Democracy Hacked Documentary by HBO on YouTube. 80+ minutes showing how programs can change votes undetected through the Diebold Machines which Maryland also uses,) he has received an abysmal reception from his New York Values slight during a debate. Many New Yorkers are neither impressed with Cruz and the NY Daily News has given him a couple staggering covers telling him to take the F U train and get out of New York.






While many political pundits and talking heads are all wheezy over Cruz's hostile reception in NY, they all admit his remark was a 47% level remark that probably sunk Romney's bid in 2012. This time he said it in a debate and Mother Jones didn't have to pen one article.





Looking at Cruz side by side with Trump, some things are startling and appear as they are, so it behoove you to watch at least this clip below when you contemplate Cruz versus Trump. This gives you some more in depth detail of just what's going on between the two.



So folks, it's up to you to do research. Really look at the things Ted Cruz has done as a Senator and Attorney to ascertain if this is the caliber of person you want speaking for you in the White House.

On April 6, 2016 at approximately 1:20 PM a female student at Bennett High School was led by a male student to a back stairwell. The male began trying to kiss the female and she was fighting to prevent him from doing so. The struggle continued for approximately 10 minutes. The male suspect was trying to pull the cloths off the female as well as get his own genitals exposed. During the assault he was controlling her movement physically to include choking her, pulling her hair, pinning her down on the stairwell and the floor and against the wall. Ultimately the assault was seen to be occurring by a staff member on video in the office. That staff member ran to stop the assault. Staff then escorted the parties to the office and began processing the assault. The School Resource Officer (SRO), a Wicomico Deputy, was contacted, after the victim and suspect had been released from school. He began his investigation at this point. After viewing the video of the incident, the SRO contacted The Wicomico Bureau of Investigation (WBI) and the WBI took over the investigation. On 4/7/16 the suspect was taken into custody and charged as an adult. He was released to the Wicomico Detention Center and his disposition is not known at this time.

MURDER INVESTIGATION UNDERWAY IN WICOMICO COUNTY

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

(SALISBURY, MD) — State, county and city police in Wicomico County are searching this morning for the person or persons responsible for an overnight shooting that left one man dead.

The victim is identified as Irvonte C. Jones, 24, of Salisbury, Md. Jones was pronounced dead after being transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center. His body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore for an autopsy.

Shortly before 10:00 p.m. yesterday, troopers from the Salisbury Barrack were dispatched to the 1000-block of Pierce Avenue, Salisbury, for a reported shooting. Troopers met the owner of the single family home, who said she had just arrived at the residence and found her boyfriend, Jones, lying unresponsive in a bedroom. Jones had sustained what appeared to be multiple gunshot wounds and was transported by EMS personnel to the hospital.

Maryland State Police Homicide Unit investigators responded to conduct the investigation. State Police crime scene technicians spent the night processing the scene for evidence, after a search warrant was obtained. Investigators continue to interview neighbors and family members. A member of the Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office responded to the scene and continues to work with investigators. Additional assistance is being provided by the Wicomico County Bureau of Investigation and the State Police Gang Enforcement Unit.

The preliminary investigation indicates Jones was alone in the home when he was shot. A suspect description has not been developed at this time. A motive has not been identified. It is unclear yet if the person or persons responsible forced their way into the home, or were let in by the victim.

State Police investigators urge anyone with information about this victim or the person(s) responsible for his death to contact Lower Eastern Shore Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776, or the Salisbury Barrack at 410-749-3101. Callers may remain anonymous.

Publishers Notes: When we learned of this incident last night the call came in saying "SFD going to Pierce Ave (off of East Lincoln Ave) for a self inflicted shooting". When they were transporting him to the hospital they said he had been shot 3 times.......since the press release is calling it a murder, (above) it wasn't self inflicted after all.

This was also put out there - 

**Police/Fire Alert**

Shooting

Pierce Avenue
Salisbury

UPDATE 3: Victim did not survive the injuries. Police enroute to hospital for 15-20 family members related to the victim being disruptive.

UPDATE 2: Subject transported priority 1 to local hospital with three gunshot wounds with one to the head. Unknown condition at this time

UPDATE 1: All Maryland State Police units responding priority. Reported victim possibly still breathing. Units just cleared to go into scene.

Fire department dispatched for a subject with a self inflicted gun shot to the head. Fire and police being instructed to stage until Maryland State Police arrives.

I heard them say he was making a snoring noise when breathing.

Exonerated Teacher Exits Education

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT


Having proven my innocence in a court of law, I have formally tendered my resignation to Worcester County Public Schools. I have decided that it is now time for me to move on to another career outside the field of public education.

On Friday, March 18, 2016 a Worcester County Circuit Court judge threw out 2 cases, accounting for 12 of the 24 charges against me. After about ninety minutes of deliberation, I was found not guilty of the other 2 cases and those 12 counts by a unanimous jury.

I have lost so much that is irreplaceable. I can not begin to convey the extent of those losses or the magnitude of devastation that being branded by these falsehoods has wrought. It will be a life long struggle to repair the damage and rebuild my reputation and my life.

My wife and I are extremely grateful to the parents, students, friends, family, churches, and other community members who stood by us and showed their support. Times like these reveal who your true friends are and they mean the world to us, forever having a place in our hearts.

I implore WCPS and all school districts to install cameras in all classrooms, for the protection of both teachers and students, and to prevent potential future incidents of false allegations.

Sincerely,

William A. Cathell, Jr

Don't You Ever Wonder What Other Countries Now Think Of America?

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT



I could really blast the heck out of this article but between the title and the images, I think all of you know where I'm headed.

Hillary Clinton should also be a topic here with her history in politics, being investigated and yet a front runner in the Presidential race.

I think you Liberals should take a good hard look at some of the images above. When the Kardashian's are more recognized than our current President, we have a problem. 

We're no longer respected, we're a JOKE! And you Liberals wonder why we support a man like Donald Trump. We do need to "Make America Great Again."

Megyn Kelly on Potentially Leaving Fox: 'Never Say Never'

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly said in an interview published this week she would not rule out leaving the network when her contract expires at the end of next year.

Kelly sat down with Variety and spent some time talking about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and the personal attacks he's directed at her.

When asked about her contract with Fox, Kelly said she has not decided what she'll do.

"Never say never. I don't know what's going to happen. I've had a great 12 years here, and I really like working for Roger Ailes. I really like my show, and I love my team. But you know, there's a lot of brain damage that comes from the job," she said.

SBYNews Called It Again: THEFT – Delmar Elementary Parent Teacher Association

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

On Monday, March 21, 2016 the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation (WBI) was contacted by members of the Delmar Elementary Parent Teacher Association (DEPTA) regarding missing account funds. Members of the DEPTA alleged their treasurer Tracie N. Vonarx of Delmar, DE may have been the responsible party.

Through the course of the investigation members of WBI confirmed Tracie N. Vonarx's sole involvement in the thefts from the DEPTA.

Using her position as treasurer of the DEPTA Tracie N. Vonarx had access to their check book and bank account. The checks for the DEPTA required the signature of two members of the DEPTA in order to be cashed. Tracie N. Vonarx forged the second signature and wrote several checks to herself for activities and expenses not associated with the DEPTA.

It was further revealed that during DEPTA fundraisers and enrollments Tracie N. Vonarx accepted cash and check donations. Although Tracie N. Vonarx is believed to have deposited all the check donations several cash donation were kept for her personal use. 

Total confirmed theft is in excess of $8,000.

Traci N. Vonarx was issued a criminal summons by the Wicomico District Court charging her with several theft and forgery related charges.

His inaccuracies only make me (and many others) want to troll him harder. Thanks for posting. If you're going to be in a position to make forecasts, knowing a select people are going to rely on it, then it's fair game to judge where due. This isn't WBOC's first and only blunder. For Christ sakes, we have a few students in college on Delaware who can predict weather better than him, with MORE RELIABILITY. If you want to be Delmarva's news leader, then lead us! It must be a joke to those whom are active on sites that allow input and comments from the common folk that this impacts. It proves that money doesn't mean anything without a team behind it who knows what they are doing. Good day, Salisbury News.

Former Crisfield Police Chief Charged with Setting Woods Fire

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

The former police chief of Crisfield was arrested Thursday by a Natural Resources Police investigator and charged with setting a fire last September in a grove of pine trees.

Norman Cleveland Swift III, 60, was held on $15,000 bond at the Somerset County Detention Center.

Swift is accused of starting a fire near the intersection of Phoenix Church Road and Farm Market Road on the evening of Sept. 21. Firefighters already in the area saw Swift speeding away from the scene. They tamped out the flames before they could spread.

The State Fire Marshal's Office, Maryland State Police, and the Department of Natural Resources Forest Service assisted in the investigation.

A search warrant served on Swift's truck in an unrelated case turned up pyrotechnic flares. An analysis of the burned area found material consistent with that used in the construction of flares. A second search warrant for Swift's phone records placed him in the area of the fire.

Last summer and early fall, Somerset County was struck by a series of 15 fires in brush and woods. No one was injured and no structures were involved. The investigation into those fires is continuing.

Swift was charged with setting the October 1987 fire that destroyed two blocks of Crisfield's waterfront, causing $5 million in damage. That charge was dropped in exchange for a guilty plea on a charge of nonfeasance in office while he was police chief.

Swift is scheduled to appear in court on May 2. The single charge of malicious or negligent setting of fires carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of $2,000.

God’s Not Dead 2’ Centers on Religious Persecution in High School, Opens Nationwide

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:01 AM PDT

A highly anticipated faith-based flick about the intersection of church and state in an imaginary Arkansas high school opened in movie theaters Saturday.

"God's Not Dead 2" features Melissa Joan Hart from "Clarissa Explains It All" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and Jesse Metcalfe, from "Desperate Housewives" in an epic court battle centered on a classroom discussion comparing Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr.

"The film takes place in the fictional town of Hope Springs, where beloved teacher Grace Wesley teaches history. Her love for teaching, her love for her students, and her love for life all come from the same place: her love for Christ," The Christian Post reports.

"When a student asks a question about Jesus in class, Grace's answer causes her to face an epic court case, in which she would have to stand up for her faith."

A.V. Club describes the original 2014 blockbuster "God's Not Dead" as a nod to the Old Testament, and "God's Not Dead 2" as a reference to the New Testament.

Hart, a Presbyterian, said she felt compelled to accept the role of Grace despite a very short break with her family between movies.

"I had a hard time in my personal life being able to make room for this movie. I felt very persecuted within my own inner circle…I felt very called to do this movie," Hart told the Post. "I promised my family I'd be home and I felt like I had to do this movie. My husband always says, 'Do what you have to do' and I felt like I had to do this movie."

"But once I announced that to him, to his parents, to my parents, to my family, everyone kind of came at me: 'How could you leave your family again, and how could you do this? You promised you'd be home.'"

"It was a very important story for me to tell," she said. "[I]t has become one of the great blessings of my career to make this movie."

Defiant B&B Owners Refuse To Host Gay Wedding Despite $80G Fine

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

An Illinois couple who refused to host a gay civil union ceremony at their idyllic bed and breakfast five years ago was defiant Tuesday after being ordered to pay an $80,000 fine and hold a celebration for the pair.

Jim and Beth Walder, owners of the Timber Creek Bed & Breakfast in Paxton, rejected Mark and Todd Wathen's rental inquiry in 2011, telling them they "believe homosexuality is wrong" and refusing their patronage.

The state had recently passed a law allowing civil unions, and the pair filed a complaint with the state Human Rights Commission, which argued their case before an administrative law judge. That judge ruled against the Walders last September, and this month imposed the fine, which included $30,000 in damages and another $50,000 for legal fees.

"We may be out of step with an increasingly anti-Christian culture, but we are in compliance with God's design and that is what ultimately matters," Walder said.

The Walders were also ordered in the recent court ruling to cease discrimination of same-sex couples, a violation under the Illinois Human Rights Act. Walder said he will not comply with the order and plans to appeal the fine.

The world's going to need 50% more food by 2050

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Imagine if Golden Corral, the super buffet restaurant, released a report stating that by 2050, their business model would no longer be sustainable.

No longer would they be able to offer an all-you-can-eat buffet with all the fixings of a Thanksgiving feast. Rather, they'd replace it with an all-you-can-drink smoothie bar with tasty protein options.

The reason: massive food shortages.

Clearly Golden Corral didn't release such a report, but the World Bank did. The organization forecasts that by 2050, we'll need 50% more food to feed the world's population.

So here's the problem. Between now and 2050, they expect the world's population to growfrom seven billion to nine billion. Even given our demographic outlook, which shows most developed countries will have trouble just maintaining their populations, we're still looking at about 10 billion people before the end of the century.

But the real problem is that due to worsening climate conditions, crop yields will be cut by 25% during that same time frame.

Uh-oh.

MCDONALD’S TESTING SELF-SERVE KIOSKS IN RESPONSE TO ‘FIGHT FOR $15’

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Robots taking over fast food jobs

In response to recent minimum wage hikes, McDonald's is now experimenting with a self-serve kiosk.

Currently the kiosk, spotted at a McDonald's in downtown Chicago, only allows customers to serve themselves coffee, but there's no reason why a similar kiosk couldn't be expanded with other offerings in the future.

"In essence, this is the company's latest venture to make employees responsible for one less task as corporate HQ slowly but surely responds to minimum wage hikes sweeping all states, and in the process, outsource its minimum wage workers to simple machines which will never unionize or have any demands aside from being cleaned occasionally," Zero Hedgereported.

Fast food workers demanded a $15 an hour minimum wage and union rights in strikes across 270 cities back in November, but their jobs may eventually be taken over by autonomous burger-making robots.

Subject: Ireton tells Easton Democrats QUOTE: Democrats should stop apologizing for being smart

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

EASTON — First District Congressional Candidate Jim Ireton touted Democratic achievements in his address at the annual Talbot County Democratic Forum on Sunday, April 3. Former Cambridge Mayor Victoria Jackson-Stanley also spoke at the annual event at the Avalon Theatre.

Ireton is running against Joe Werner, a Bel Air attorney, for the Democratic nomination for the First District. The incumbent, Andy Harris, faces a primary challenge from a number of GOP candidates.

Ireton served two terms as mayor of Salisbury, prior to announcing his candidacy for the First District race.

"If we can do this together we will not let one another down," Ireton said. "I will not let you down and you will not let me down and we will send someone to Washington who wants to make a difference."

Ireton repeatedly said how proud he was of President Obama and emphasized that Democrats need to get out on the streets and take action for the 2016 election.

"There are 63,000 people on the Eastern Shore who now have insurance that didn't have it before and we should be proud of that," Ireton said.

COUNTY EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCES 5 YEAR COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT REACHED WITH SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

Salisbury, MD… Wicomico County Executive Bob Culver is pleased to announce that the 2016 Collective Bargaining Agreement between the County and the Wicomico County Sheriff's Deputies has been successfully concluded. The Agreement has been reviewed and approved by the County Council.

"I would like to commend all parties involved for their hard work in reaching a five- year agreement, something unprecedented in the State," said Culver. "By putting a long term agreement in place, we have saved the taxpayers significant legal fees over time. Equally as
important, we have provided a level of security for those men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect all of us."

The agreement provides for disability benefits for the Deputies, which was a top priority. In addition, it will provide competitive salaries (within the State), including pay increases that will occur over the first 4 years of the Agreement.

New to this Agreement is the introduction of a Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP), which provides another path to retirement for eligible sworn law enforcement officers. Under this voluntary program, an eligible Deputy can "retire" (and begin accumulating retirement benefits in a DROP account) while continuing to work for Wicomico County. While in DROP, the monthly retirement payment is deposited into an account within the County's pension system and earns compounded interest for as long the Deputy remains in the DROP program.

While thanking the County Executive and County Council, FOP President Marty Fisher said the Agreement "sends a strong message that Wicomico County has faith in the men and women that serve and protect".

Report: Trump Supporters in Wisconsin See Votes Switched to Cruz

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

People voting for Donald Trump in today's Wisconsin primary are seeing their ballots changed to show a vote for Ted Cruz.

Calls began flooding in early this morning to Madison-based ABC affiliate WKOW with reports of voting machines across the state switching votes entered for GOP frontrunner Donald Trump to his establishment counterpart Ted Cruz. The station has spoken with multiple witnesses and is in the process of verifying statements from Burnett, Clark, Dane, Polk and Portage counties.

According to one witness identified as Jeremy Rogers from Burnett county, "It was the strangest thing. The machine literally would not allow me to vote Trump. I have been a Trump supporter since he launched his campaign and have absolutely no reason to vote for Cruz. I have heard the same from several others coming out of the voting booth. Seems like the establishment will stop at nothing to keep this out of the hands of Trump."

Brian James, a volunteer and self-professed Cruz supporter who is overseeing the voting at the Burnett county location, had this to say, "These allegations have no basis in reality. If these Trump supporters cannot figure out how to use a voting machine maybe they shouldn't be voting."

Subject: Transportation Secretary: Inequitable Distribution of Sidewalks Is Obstacle to American Dream

Posted: 10 Apr 2016 05:00 AM PDT

(CNSNews.com) - Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx told a crowd in North Carolina Tuesday that "only 49% of low-income neighborhoods have sidewalks" while more affluent areas have near 90%. In order to have a society where "everyone has a shot at the American Dream, than it's imperative that we acknowledge these challenges."

Foxx made the comments to the Charlotte Rotary Club where he discussed the ways that infrastructure should connect people to opportunity.

During his speech, Foxx referenced a map of Atlanta that showed areas of pedestrian and bicycle accidents. "The grey areas represent communities of concentrated poverty. This is representative of what's occurring nationally, which is not surprising, because only 49% of low-income neighborhoods have sidewalks. In high-income areas the number is closer to 90%."

"So, if we want a society in which everyone has a shot at the American dream, than it is imperative that we acknowledge these challenges," Foxx said.
