While I don't agree with all of posters points or tone, this blog attempts to provide a forum for people to express their concerns with how our town runs (even if it is anonymously). In the interest of fairness, the Board has been notified that this comment is here, and anyone is free to respond to its content.<br /><br />As a point of clarification, I'll also point out that when I initially started looking into the State's conflict of interest laws, it was after receiving an anonymous comment that I did NOT publish. Was it the same person who posted this one? I don't know. But, that's just to point out that there is a concern in the community around this issue that did not originate with this blog.Rick Shorthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15157326884806088327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936584745769131524.post-8613723131125648752014-02-14T09:57:44.196-05:002014-02-14T09:57:44.196-05:00This CHS boondoggle seems to have proven to be hig...This CHS boondoggle seems to have proven to be highly lucrative for commissioner Jenest. Are there others also in town hall in a similar situation wrt the CHS project? Perhaps that is why this was rammed through even though it brings no revenue to the town, perhaps some low paying jobs .But commissioners can get financial benefits. Is this the MO of Davidson Town Hall? Talk of ethics or COI? This is worse. The security aspect of this has yet to play out for the neighborhood and the kids playing fields opposite. Why was the project not incorporated in the town itself ?Remember the MCI fiasco! It is still costing the town $300k per year while there are no funds for the fire dept! or a police station next to the CHS psychiatric hospital. Gone are the days of a forward thinking town hall, now it is what can "I get" from it!<br /><br />The rezoning is a subtle ploy to grant legal justification for this impending disaster to the area. It is not just a sign issue but a larger one to justify the earlier decisions of the town to ram this CHS project through. It appears that the town hall will go to all lengths to serve themselves. This CHS project is a disaster which Huntersville declined to include in it town limits! But the Davidson Town Hall was there to snatch it perhaps for obvious ulterior reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
