In this position, he is working on the CATS Blue Line Extension project by designing and reviewing the roadway design plans.

He spent the next 20 years in Boston working on multiple scale transportation projects, preparing traffic impact studies and performing traffic signal, traffic control and roadway design. Kopaskie moved to North Carolina in 2004 and spent five years working at a small engineering firm where he prepared more than 100 traffic signal designs in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. His most recent work includes preparing the PS&E packages for roadway improvement projects in Charleston, Barnwell and Richland counties. He served as project manager for the Horry County Five Bridge Replacement project in South Carolina and as the project manager for the North CHATS Area Traffic Signal Master Plan for SCDOT.

Kopaskie is involved in the community as a pit crew member for the Cuthbertson High School marching band and as a volunteer for other activities at the school. He is a member of the ITE and IMSA. He currently resides in Waxhaw, N.C., with his wife, Diane, and his three children, Alex, Andrea and Ben.

Naughton wants to apply business experience to senate
by Winston Jonesl/Times-Georgian

*** begin quote ***

District 30 State Senate candidate Jim Naughton of Carrollton has pledged, if he’s elected, to run the office like a business.

Naughton believes his business experience, his backing of term limits and plans to make the office a full-time job, gives him an advantage over the other three candidates in the Republican primary.

“I have a 30-year business background,” Naughton said. “I worked for one of the greatest American corporations, Milliken and Company, for 22 of those years. I was promoted 11 times and the reason was that I outworked most everybody else. I don’t do things half way. If I’m elected senator, I won’t just work in January and February. I’ll work the year round and put in 50- to 70-hour weeks, like I did in business.”

Naughton said he believes in eight-year term limits for state lawmakers and charged that politicians who are re-elected numerous times are not a sensible answer to good government.

“There’s more advantages to term limits than disadvantages,” he said. “The argument that you need political experience to do well is just a crutch to keep incumbents in office. I will work hard to get on top the issues and understand the process, and I don’t think it will take three years to be effective.”

*** and ***

Naughton was born in 1959 in New York City. He earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration, with a major in finance, from Manhattan College, and a master’s degree, with concentration in finance, from Fordham University.

He worked 21 years with Milliken and Company, rising from an assistant market credit manager to leader of a $50 million business unit that manufactured and marketed stretch fabrics.

He was executive director of the University of West Georgia Foundation and assistant vice president for alumni and development relations from 2010 to 2011.

Naughton said he was fired from the job after he questioned how some contracts were being handled, which he felt was in voilation of state policy. He sued under the state’s whistleblower law and eventually settled for $274,000. He said he accepted the settlement because he was told the case could drag on for 10 years. Naughton said after paying legal fees of $110,000, he donated the remainder of the settlement to various charities and programs, including $80,000 to the new UWG nursing school.
