There is SO MUCH irresponsible growth being approved by politicians in South Carolina. The Berkeley, Dorchester and Charleston County citizens are definitely going to “pay” in the future for this irresponsible growth.
It’s also happening in Florence County. Neither the City or County governments can tell a single developer “No”. They have brought up every square inch of land they can and seem to be in a contest as to how many houses they can fit onto a single acre of land. Meanwhile, the city water system (which serves the county too) has planned massive fee increases to finance improvements to the water system so an electric car battery plant can be built, which will require millions of gallons of water a day. The problem with that is the current water system is prone to frequent breaks and constant complaints regarding brown or dirty water or no water at all. And the county customers are being asked to shoulder more of the share of the improvements than their city counterparts. Why? Exactly? Oh, right, so they can give money to a city-owned non-profit org which helps people who can’t pay their water bills, pay their water bills. Oh, and you can always donate up to this little nonprofit too to help these poor deadbeats. Interestingly, the city has also opted themselves out of any kind of formal monitoring of the safety and quality of the water system, so how long before we find out we’ve been drinking highly polluted water? The strain on the resources and infrastructure were already at a breaking point long before this ridiculous influx of new residents and the monopolies these good ole’ boys have on water/sewer and other utilities is just corruption and greed on top of an absolute cavalier regard to actual capacity.
The candidate this one-sided article is promoting has had a change.org petition filed to have his business license revoked due to financial hardship on those that did work for him. Over 100 people signed this petition. The person that initiated the petition shared the change.org post was closed due to a cease and desist letter received from this candidate. If interested in facts, look up change.org with the name of david a cox and you can see if for yourself. there is much history with this person and it is not what the city of Easley needs. One tyrant is enough.
You should probably check the meeting minutes and voting record for David Cox as a member of the county planning commission. He hasn’t spoken out about development in the county until he decided to run for mayor. Also look into how many llc’s he has. What’s the reason for all those llc’s. Why does he claim to. E a developer on LinkedIn or at least he did previously. Also asking him about his previous views on illegal aliens un SC.. He ran for state house against Neil Collins and by his on words wanted to fast track illegal aliens as well as block any state agencies from helping the federal gouverment from deporting them. You should really do you homework before voting or writing an article blindly
You also may want to look into his company vision holdings LLC vs certs bank. I don’t think this is the person to lead easley. I suggest you do your homework
there are two sources worth visiting. go to the secretary of state business search website, click on registered agent search, type in david cox, david a cox. there are 9 on one search, 1,2,4,5,26,28,30,32,33 & 4 on the other, 4, 6, 9, 10. Those are the ones in his name, not family and business associates. There isn’t anything wrong with having LLC’s. A majority of these will show, the candidate owns over 30+ properties in Pickens County. The business his wife runs is Community Property Management. Some have asked if this is a conflict of interest. HOMEWORK IS THE KEY!!!
You may want to check out the complaint and request for license revocation on Change.org concerning David Cox not paying his Contractors for services rendered. Also, his LLC’S can be located by his name as agent, then cross reference those LLC’s with tax and county court records to show poor homes with many evictions. He also recently stated publicly that employees of his would feel his foot on their neck if their job performance was not to his satisfaction. In addition, he describes himself as a real estate developer. Not what we need in Easley, South Carolina.

Former Columbia, Mayor Bob (Coble), used shoestring annexation via railroad tracks to annexation the lucrative Harbison Blvd, and Columbiana Mall.
Lexington mayor, Steve McDougall used “eyeball annexation”, since there was no contiguous land, to annex the Smallwood Cove on Lake Murray. The Smallwood Cove development was withdrawn due to public backlash.
That David Cox is so great. Honesty has been such an issue in Easley’s mayor election and he has proven to be the best man for the job. We sure do hope he outshines those other two candidates as we certainly have seen the one is truly “woefully unqualified”. Thanks fitsnews for taking such a special interest in our little town of Ealsey. These issues have needed to be addressed properly for a long time. All these other commenters are wildly wrong and biased, but you really nailed it. Thank you for making Easley citizens informed and helping them get back on track.
The commentor “Easley Express” is NOT ASSOCIATED with the website easleyexpress.com and DOES NOT represent the opinions of those affiliated with the Easley Express website. The Easley Express website only posts facts which can be verified. The statement “woefully unqualified” is not a fact as the article did not have any supporting documentation for that egregious error. And stating ‘he has proven to be the best man for the job’ is not factual either. What proof has been shown to back that up? Commnets from “Easley Express” should be ignored as this person is as fake as the name used to comment.

Good Lord Will, have you no shame? I’m going to assume David Cox is now the proud owner of 200 subscriptions to your publication. I can’t even lol
