Subject: poverty IS a big issue in Chatham County
Jo Anne:
Thank you for your post on poverty. I used to take the view against which
you argue, but now have a more educated one.
The county boasts a poverty level under 5 %. However, Siler City has 14.7 %! Such a disparity is disgracing. It would appear that the new residents in the east abide by the old social and political east-west division in Chatham, forgetting that we have a part of the county, which needs attention and economic development.
