wilkes

We actually take videos and get together once a week and make fun of you all's cheap cars.

We's bad to the bone, ruining the serenity of the wealthy few.

We would have more sight seer's if you people would stay out.

They get visitors when the Buzzards fly in.

How many tourists and sight seer's do you get a year ? Two ?

We already voted. We going to buy some spike strips.

63 you need to declare a moped drive thru,look out for Finley Buzzards.

The reason OUR streets are so bad is because you people keep coming thru.

Thanks Zombie, I figured it was just some of the Finleyites . I don't remember the town giving them the public streets, even though some residents are influential in our town.

Killing my brakes, I gotta stop a bazillion times just to get to Business 421

I live in that area, no biggie.

I just hate all the useless stop signs.

Last time I was through the Finley neighborhood, a couple of years ago, some of the streets needed work.

Yep we out in the lawn chairs with some bottle rockets. GO AHEAD MAKE MY DAY!

The dot made Wilkesboro raise speed limit on main street recently.from 20 to 35.

You Finley residents don't own the streets.

I love riding past Finley, what you all do in your little neighborhood doesn't interest me. I'm just taking the shortest route to where I'm going, like many generations before me have.

I can see a moped drive thru in Finley looking for Buzzards.

You'll notice the phrase "clear proceeds" in that clause. From UNC Chapel Hill -

The constitutional provision does not define the term "clear proceeds." The North Carolina Supreme Court has held that the term is synonymous with net proceeds such that the "reasonable costs of collection constitutionally may be deducted from the gross proceeds of the [penalties and fines] collected . . . ." Cauble v. City of Asheville, 314 N.C. 598, 336 S.E.2d 59 (1985). The court noted that the costs of collection "do not include the costs associated with enforcing the ordinance but are limited to the administrative costs of collecting the funds."

What then constitutes "reasonable costs of collection?" In executing the constitutional provision, the General Assembly has specified that "[t]he clear proceeds . . . as referred to in Article IX, Sect[ion] 7 of the Constitution, shall include the full amount of all penalties, forfeitures or fines collected . . . diminished only by the actual costs of collection, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the amount collected." G.S. 115C-437. (Although G.S. 115C-437 states that it applies to revenues collected by counties, in Shavitz v. City of High Point, 177 N.C.App. 465, 630 S.E.2d 4 (2006), the North Carolina Court of Appeals assumed that the provision also applied to penalties and fines collected by municipalities.)
