Wal-Mart in North Chatham?
[Jul. 10, 2005] A lot of people don't consider Wal Mart a great corporate economic neighbor. Many citizens (including me) at least occasionally shop at Wal Mart. They do generate jobs (citizens without jobs appear glad to get them regardless of what you and I think) and a Wal Mart does generate considerable revenue to their host. It is my hope that we will listen, discuss, share information--maximize the review process and be able to reach an appropriate decision. By Mike Cross

1% land transfer tax update and support
[Jun. 19, 2005] I'm sure everyone knows by now that our General Assembly "Crossover" date doesn't apply to tax bills and I surely apologize for my misunderstanding of this process. But that's good-it's NOT OVER! We have concentrated/directed our concerns and desires for the 1% L.T.T. to our House and Senate Finance Chairs with background information to all legislators and our efforts have stirred many positive conversations. However, I simply cannot accept phrases like "really good effort" and "great stepping stone". By Mike Cross

May 25, 2005: Legislative Reception -- who's on first?
[Jun. 1, 2005] It's still hard to believe but the NC Association of County Commissioners held its legislative reception at the NC Museum of History and the Triangle J Council of Governments held its legislative reception next door at the NC Museum of Natural Science -- yes, at the same time! ... and I was expected to be at both!! ... and to add to the fun, TJCOG also scheduled a Board of Delegates budget meeting immediately following their reception!
