Subject: Margaret Pollard

I have a student in my AP English Language and Composition class who is writing a research paper about Margaret Pollard. The topic is how an elected official has shown courage through a political act.

This student would like to speak with anyone who has worked closely with Ms. Pollard or a family member who can provide insight into this topic. She will need the information by the end of next week (10/13). Please email me directly and I will get you in touch with this student. Thank you for your help.

Subject: Centurylink

Interesting discussion.  In contrast – not defense! – to the below.

I live in Moncure, initially DSL was not available to us, and we used Earthlink satellite.  Expensive, but it worked.  DSL was extended to our area, and we switched – cable is unavailable, and according to how I interpret what the cable companies say if I had children, my grandchildren would be old before cable was available.  Since moving to Moncure and getting phone service there (9 years ago), I’ve had numerous names on the company that provides service:  Embarq, Centurylink…

Subject: My vote on the WWP pipeline

Like most decisions that the board of commissioners has to make, this one was not as straight forward as it might first appear. The decision to allow the Western Wake Partnerships to route the pipeline that will carry clean water from the New Hill treatment facility was made after careful consideration and deliberation. I realize many disagree with my vote. The answer for me came down to the fact that I believe this is best for the affected landowners and Chatham County as a whole. I further believe that this is compatible with two of my key goals as a commissioner; 1) Aggressively Protect property rights, and 2) Create an environment that will foster job growth in Chatham County.  I’ll explain in detail below but first I would like to address the question of whether or not there were other possible routes for the pipeline.
