Chris,
A great thing that you could is to take Rader and Thunberg to Raleigh with you and then maybe you all can sell the $96 million cable company that because of Rader and Thunberg you voted for to ruin us.
Thunberg is on TV promoting Duke Power's rate increase and trying to put us more in debt by trying to get the train here that no body wants.
He's not elected, he's appointed, but sooner or later he is going to have to stand for election and he may be able to fool people here in Mooresville but he surely is not going to be able to cast that wide a net beyond this town.
I'll wager more than 5% of the population of the rest of the district outside of Mooresville votes.
Need a chief of staff? Take Erskine Smith. Think of all the sidling up he can do for you! Hello sailor, come here often? LOL.
Is there any way of getting the transcripts of the MI Connection meeting at which Carney made comments and cast his vote for the MIC? How does one go about getting this info?
You submit a freedom of information act request specifying the information you're looking for.
Call the Town Office and ask for Mr Gambill he is the town Attorney. Tell him you want under the information of the freedmon act. By law he has to give it to you.Everything at the meetings are recorded.
Looking forward to a great New Year. Now we have a almost a great board of Council Members.
Carney Gone at least out of our hair, Mitch Gone where ? Who cares. Now we Have a good Mayor, Good council persons in Bobby and Eddie, and Thurman and Lisa who will do a great job. Now all we need is for Herring to make this board great is to resign and then the town will become even greater because the current members are for the public and not for them selves. Herring please make the people in your ward and the citizens of Mooresville happy and resign.
I guess this blog is dead now that censorship has begun.
Jamie,
Can you shed some light on the press release today regarding Chris Carney's involvement as an executive with MI Connection?
Yeah, from the press release I saw today, looks like our beloved cable company and Chris Carney are practicing censorship together.
