INVESTIGATIVE REPORT

HALBURN WHINES ABOUT CANCELED P.C.D.A. MEETING

Despite Horrible Economy

With America and Putnam County fighting through the worst recession in the last 70 years, businesses aren't lining up to open up anywhere, much less in Putnam County.
Halburn seems to think that the PCDA is responsible for filling every business vacancy in the county.
PutnamLIES.com thinks Halburn is so desperate for his "exclusive" stories to be proven true that he is trying to deflect attention away from his unsubstantiated publishing.

As for the Denny's and SuperplayUSA that fatsack announced over two years ago? PutnamLIES.com will break this news.

They're not coming.

The company that was going to build the Denny's went bankrupt, so good luck with that.

The SuperplayUSA story that he claims he "broke" two years ago was actually broken by WV Media in 2007.

That project is just another victim of the poor economy, because one of the properties that the PCDA is actively marketing is the very piece of land that the entertainment complex was to occupy.
Yeah, the land next to Home Depot has been construction-ready for more than a decade, yet no one has built there.
Why?
Because, like Halburn's 2nd wife's house, the asshats that own the land are asking too much for it.

None of this is anything the PCDA can do anything about.

Contrary to the way Halburn likes to do business, the PCDA can't strongarm tenants into moving into empty storefronts in the county.

You would think if Halburn has such great ideas and is so all fired sure that everyone agrees with his positions that he'd be in overdrive to open a business or run for office. You would expect that.

But he won't.

Because he knows that he'd be a failure as a businessman and made to look like the fool he is during a campaign and soundly defeated in an election. Another public humiliation is something that he can't tolerate.

From the Lincoln Journal to the Point Pleasant Register to Best Buy to Wackenhut, from Charleston Newspapers to WPDE to Sitel to Comfort Inns and Suites, Halburn has been fired from them all. 25 jobs in 25 years is not a stellar employment record.
A guy that can't hold a regular job doesn't have any business lecturing anyone about curing unemployment.

The PCDA has an office that's open every day. Businesses know how to contact them if they need help.
Holding a meeting just for the sake of holding a meeting does no one any good. It's a waste of time and resources.
Halburn is just upset that a canceled meeting deprives him of the chance to harangue the board about buying his second wife's house at an inflated price.

So while Halburn is taking it easy pursuing his hobby of running a cluttered advertising shopper, Putnam County's population continues to grow and its residents have one of the highest median incomes in the state, even as the national economy continues to contract. In addition, Putnam County has the 7th lowest unemployment rate in the state.

Don't expect Halburn to change his ways. All we can hope to do is expose his rantings for what they are: insane.

What's In The FOIA Mailbag?

Bryan:

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY we need real leadership in this county. My wife is having COMPLICATIONS from her surgery recovery and we have been told I may have to drive her to CHARELESTON(sic) because CAMC Teays does not have a urologist on staff. This is a county of 60,000 people-NOT a third-world country! We don't pay taxes to get this kind of CRAPPY services! You were made aware of this situation earlier this week and it hasn't improved. FIX IT !

Many thanks!

Mark Halburn

Brian Donat is the Administrator for the Putnam County Commission. What he has to do with CAMC, a private hospital, is a mystery to us.
Maybe Halburn wants the county to require an employee to drive their fat asses to Charleston or start a charity hospital.

What do you think he wants?

HALBURN WON'T ADMIT WALL WILL NOT STOP NOISE

Assclown Does Not Understand The Laws Of Physics

For years, Hurricane asshole Mark Halburn has told anyone that would listen the that the city needs to order Walmart to build a sound wall.


Halburn enjoys the view from his front yard of the wall that he hopes someone will build for him.

The neighbors have accurately said that his crying has contributed greatly to noise levels and that the loudmouth has been throwing up false arguments to generate sympathy for himself and publicity for his failing website.

As he has used lame arguments to get the sound wall, Halburn has bullied council members and other politicians who wouldn't buy his rhetoric, including C. Brian Ellis and West Virginia State Senator W. "Mike" Hall. All along, Halburn has refused to provide any scientific evidence or statements from sound engineers that a "sound wall" has any impact on sound waves.

Of course, anyone with common sense knows that the reason Halburn never produced any evidence or sound engineer opinions is that there isn't any.

Now, PutnamLIES.com has a recording of Edwards admitting that Halburn is lying in his article.

"I've said nothing different to him for a long time, other than for him to get away from me or to get out of my face," said Edwards. "Looks like a made up story again."

Now that Edwards has finally spoken the truth on the issue, it remains to be seen if Hurricane City Council members will continue to put up with Halburn's shit or run his fat ass out of town.

Halburn claims that Realtors have advised the neighbors that keeping the commercial zoning will make it easier to sell their homes. However, none of them have had any offers under the current zoning and none are actively marketing their property.

About 15 lawsuits have been filed over construction blasting and construction noise. Halburn lost his lawsuit last year.

Edwards is a member of the Putnam County Development Authority Board of Directors which put together the Walmart project and served as a non-elected Hurricane City Council Member when the Walmart was planned. He was elected mayor in 2007 in an election that included a number of disputed ballots in unsealed envelopes. After both the required canvass and a recount requested by the challenger, the final tally showed Edwards was the winner, whereupon the loser challenged the results.
The WV Supreme Court found that the ballot dispute was a moot point because Edward's challenger failed to file his challenge in a timely manner.

PutnumLlVE.com has alleged that the City of Hurricane changed the zoning without the neighbor's knowledge or permission, up to four decades after they bought their homes, but has provided no proof of those charges

Halburn alleges that Edwards refuses to put the Walmart sound wall and trees on the city council agenda.
The question should be asked, just how often does this need to be brought before Council?
Halburn brought it before Council twice in Dec 09, after which the city contacted Walmart and was told in no uncertain terms that the company had no intention of building or allowing others to build a sound wall on their property.


He then brought it up again the very next month, in January of this year.
Thinking that, for some twisted reason, the city should build the wall.
Walls and trees are not the city's responsibility.

This means one man, Halburn, is preventing an entire neighborhood from having peace and quiet by his incessant non-stop whining about Walmart.

Halburn used to publish a daily diary chronicling the daily excessive noise. However, he has pulled it at least four times because he couldn't take the criticism originating here and on Tyler Hollywood's site that made light of his imagined problems and insane rantings. It reappears from time to time after people stop paying attention to him. The last few times he has hidden it with no links to it.

Councilwoman Lana Call says "The city can't afford it."
Halburn ducks the real issue: personal responsibility.
He refuses to be responsible for his own problems.

It's quiet..Yeah, too quiet.

No News Is Good News



You may have noticed a marked decrease in articles here at PutnamLIES.com.
Well, there's a good reason for that.
It's because that asshole that runs that cluttered internet shopper, Halburn, has cut way back on his douchebaggery.
He's just not writing anything.
Which is a good thing. That means we've been doing OUR job. Which has been all along to force him to act in a more civilized manner. Before he started getting pounded from all sides he was free to attack anyone for any reason without repercussions.
Not anymore.
And now his output shows it.

But as we all know, it's only a matter of time before he snaps again and makes an ass of himself, so we shouldn't have to wait long.
Something usually happens once every summer.
