(Ahem.) I stand corrected. I received the following e-mail last night from one of my blog subscribers: Thank you for this blog. I wanted to bring something to your attention. In the introduction to your blog, you stated that our local government “has experienced a near complete overturn in commissioners *since 2001*”. In actuality, this overturn has been complete. Furthermore, there has also been a turnover in the mayoral position, the city attorney position, and the town manager position, not once, but twice.
As a longtime observer of town matters, I can state with certainty that this is an unprecedented occurrence in the history of Mooresville. It signals a new era, and it sends the message that if the citizens are dissatisfied, they are willing to exercise their powers to replace their officials. And if they were able to do this once, they can and will do it again, if deemed necessary. The writer is correct. Not one 2001 commissioner remains on today's town board. And only one commissioner, Mitch Abraham, remains from the group of commissioners who originally hired CH2M Hill.

And it's time to let Mitch Abraham go, too, if you ask me! Somebody decent needs to pipe up in Ward 1 and run him off. It would be a breeze because the CH2M Hill Wastewatergate bills are going to keep piling up, thanks to him and the corrupt way he handled that situation.
