- Mooresville's town board agreed to annex about 143 acres of the Langtree at the Lake property, which opens the door for developers of Langtree -- the $800 million mixed-use development in Mt. Mourne -- to ask the town to back bonds to pay for the development's infrastructure. For more on that, read the Mooresville Tribune's article here: http://www2.mooresvilletribune.com/content/2009/feb/04/town-approves-langtree-annexation/news-local/

NO!!! Jaime....Say it Ain't SO!!!! You mean when Frank Rader, Chris Carney, and Bill Thunberg told me at numerous board meetings that owning a cable company was a "cash cow" and that this was a "no brainer" they may have been wrong?
Now the goal is to:
"... have enough revenues come in to pay operating expenses, pay your interest expense and to pay your principle expense and to have a great system and be a part of the community," Bright said.
Sounds like our new goal is to try and break even. Wow...and Frank told me once we'd make enough money to fund other projects in town like road improvements.
Someone in the state government has some common sense and has introduced a bill instituting recall votes into the state constitution. Maybe we'll actually have the right to fire those public officials who fail to represent the best interest of the citizens.
HB 50 – Recall election
This bill amends the North Carolina Constitution and would permit recall elections for any offices which are established by the Constitution. If passed, qualified voters would be allowed to recall an official from office after a petition of recall has been signed by 25 percent of the qualified voters in the official's jurisdiction.
The fact is that Thunberg and Rader both fell on the wrong side of the Crone issue (they supported him behind and in front of the scene) on top of their staunch stubborn cheerleading of the losing cable deal. We can say what we will about Carney (he supported the cable deal too despite repeated warnings), but at least he stood up against the corrupt former police chief. Thunberg and Rader have been exposed for the consistent imposters full of hot air that they are. It's time to put both of them on the curb.
My local governments (Mooresville, Statesville, Troutman)are a joke. When will people grow tired of city cronism and the Media General news rags that carry their water?
As long as Media General owns the Mooresville Tribune you can not expect to see unbiased coverage. I particularly enjoy the "happy spin" put on the cable fiasco, next to an ad for the cable company.
Anyone up for a gathering to discuss the upcoming town elections and possible candidates to replace some of our current elected leaders?
Larry: such a public gathering would be good. I am disappointed by the choices being made in Mooresville.
I was also shocked last year to see the relatively low levels of education acquired by many on the city council. I think that in thier ignorance they are being rolled by sophisticated developers who are know the ins-and-outs of growth. It has to stop before Mooresville looks like so many Charlotte suburbs.
7pm -- Thursday, February 27th -- Location (TBD)
Please either post here (or let Jamie know) if you're interested in attending. We'll discuss characteristics of ethical leaders and ways to become actively engaged in the political system. Hopefully, we'll also come out of the meeting with a list of potential candidates to replace certain current officials.
