Subject: Cary Council Land Use meeting

To All Residents of Chatham County,

On Tuesday, January 24th., at 6:30pm, a few Chatham County Residents attended a town hall meeting in Cary.  A very important subject of the Cary/Chatham County Land Use current map.  It is disappointing and embarrassing  that none of the Chatham County Commissioners attended the meeting to hear what their residents had to say.  Mrs. Sally Kost, as a private resident did attend, and she addressed the Cary Town Council eloquently and with purpose.  As did other residents of the areas in question.  Where was Mr. Bock, Ms. Stewart, Mr. Cross and Mr. Petty? I would have thought at least one of the CCC, that is responsible for this map proposal, would have attended.
