I'm not real happy about Welch and Kenne...Yeah. I'm not real happy about Welch and Kennedy who also signed onto this deal. The Town of Boone should be ashamed of itself. They are like keystone cops. Why are we providing water to the county to promote unregulated development? That's just nuts. And the Town can't seem to keep itself from rubberstamping every development proposal that comes before it either. It's like they all drank some weird koolaid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-81855629489769467152015-08-23T11:00:08.258-05:002015-08-23T11:00:08.258-05:00Yes, I am too.

(something new river advocates would be incapable of if you hit them over the head with a clue by four) I will say this.<br /><br />The town's unerring ability to keep shooting themselves in the foot never does cease to amaze.Jesse Steelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-55221690236625396672015-08-23T08:54:18.616-05:002015-08-23T08:54:18.616-05:00So the Democrat Boone Town Council has now made co...So the Democrat Boone Town Council has now made common cause with the apartment developers and anti-zoning crowd. Bad sign for the future. What happened to the "neighborhood protection" principles that they all campaigned on? Next election I'm going to have to think long and hard about whether they mean what they say. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
