Realtor announces candidacy for Raleigh City Council

Submitted by dbracken on 06/01/2009 - 12:03

Local realtor Champ Claris announced today that he is running for one of the two at-large seats on the Raleigh City Council. The two at-large seats are currently held by Russ Stephenson and Mary-Ann Baldwin, both of whom have already said they will seek re-election.

An e-mail announcing Claris’ candidacy says that “Champ believes his fresh perspective on our issues and responsible approach to government spending will greatly benefit the City of Raleigh. He looks forward to leading a renewed focus on common sense priorities such as: strengthening our economy, reducing crime, improving our roads, and protecting our water supply and natural resources.”

Claris also said, if elected, that he would focus on reducing taxes, improving
public safety, and making Raleigh government more efficient.

Claris grew up in eastern North Carolina and has lived in Raleigh for the last 14 years. He attended N.C. State. Since 2003 he has worked for York Simpson
Underwood.

Sun, 11/01/2009 - 01:58 — tomhamper_1970

Should no blame be laid at the feet of average Joe Consumer. The people who signed on the dotted line for 3/1 or 5/1 arms, and didn't have the foresight or intelligence to realize that eventually they would have to start paying on principle that they couldn't afford are culpable as well.

Whether it was buying a million dollar home instead of a 500k home that they could afford, or buying a 100k home instead of not buying any home because you couldn't afford it. The lenders and the government are not the only greedy ones, the ignorant buyers were just as greedy!

One more thing, during

Sun, 11/01/2009 - 11:06 — tomhamper_1970

One more thing, during Congressional testimony, all of the bank heads had all the incentives in the world to blame the CRA. They could have easily claimed that they were forced by the government to make these loans. Some didn't even have businesses left (Dick Fuld of Lehman), so if it was really true that government mandates forced them to buy these loans from the originators and to package them into CDOs and sell them off to other investors then they could tell their story in front of Congress.
NOT ONE guy blamed the CRA for what happened. Dick Fuld was even asked about it and he did not implicate any government directives that forced him to do what he did.

Well it is good Champ is running because it means there will be one more voter in City Elections, since he has never voted in one before. If he had paid attention to Raleigh City Government, he may have known that Raleigh has one of the lowest tax rates for a city of it's size, and is run very efficiently, and over the past 8 years, crime is down overall. Perhaps that is why it has been consistently ranked among the best places to live and work in America. But hey, that rhetoric from Champ has been working for politicians for a long time.
