Subject: See what happens when ONE vote makes a difference?

I am so thankful for thoughtful, law abiding County leadership! For just a few years, county “policy” was created at the whim of a few and personal preference instead of our official rules and regulations.  These activities went unchecked for those dark years. No wonder we couldn’t get video taped meetings! Well, now we have transparent government that started video taping meetings immediately. In a matter of just 18 months our County Commissioners have been able to correct our path. Please view this video of Monday’s Commissioner’s meeting:

How is this business friendly? Why is ONE Commissioner refusing to follow the ordinances in place? Is this commissioner listening to the law? Why does Commissioner Kost feel the need to check in on Commissioner Cross’ vote?? He can speak his own mind. He doesn’t need Kost to check in on him. Unprofessional Unbelievable.

The interaction with a basic explanation begins at 15:30 and gets ugly at 26:30

It is just jaw dropping – out of control over-reaching of government.

Subject: Chatham hits 5th on pollution list under Chatham Coalition regime

The Chatham Coaltion Commissioners who preached about a green environment apparently failed miserably. Under the leadership of Tom Vanderbeck, George Lucier, Sally Kost and all, Chatham landed up being the 5th most pollted county in the state of North Carolina.

“According to data that industrial polluters must report to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2010, polluters released over 1 million pounds of toxic pollution into the air breathed by residents in each of twelve counties (listed in descending order by amount): Columbus (3,972,385 lbs.), New Hanover (3,056,955lbs.), Wayne (2,148,960 lbs.),

Haywood (2,062,632 lbs.), Chatham (1,959,508 lbs.), Beaufort (1,949,921 lbs.), Rutherford (1,9365,551 lbs.), Gaston (1,765,023 lbs.), Rowan (1,427,134 lbs.), Brunswick (1,275,653 lbs.), Rockingham (1,272,794 lbs.), and Catawba (1,053,677 lbs.) counties.

Reported toxic air pollution includes chemicals known to cause cancer. Polluters released nearly 50,000 pounds or more of known carcinogens into the air of each of ten counties (listed in descending order by amount): Columbus (197,082 lbs.), Wilson (126,923 lbs.), Haywood (113,591 lbs.), Brunswick (103,151 lbs.), Montgomery (85,294 lbs.), Chatham (78,640 lbs.), Rowan (76,664 lbs.), Wilkes (57,925 lbs.), Craven (55,174 lbs.), and Chowan (49,307 lbs.) counties.”

Chatham: CP&L Cape Fear plant, Arclin in Moncure, General Timber near Sanford, 3M in Pittsboro, Moncure Plywood, and Townsends in Bonlee and Moncure. A brief look over showed CP&L to be the biggest contributor.

Could you imagine how much worst it would be if the Chatham Coalition commissioners were still in power? And Coalition members Sally Kost and Jeffrey Strakweather are planning to run for the commission in 2012.

George Lucier claimed he cared more about our children than we did. But this is apparently not so.

Subject: Response to Lynn Fass

Ms. Fass,

I read your post in the chatlist last week and as a person who uses the chatlist to gather information and read up on county topics, your post was so full of implications that it has prompted me to make my first post on the chatlist. The arrogance and duplicity just dripped from it, and beyond that there were implications made that you either need to justify or apologize for. Normally I can accept the political animosity that is sometimes on display here, but your words went way beyond that. I will be specific with what I saw and you may do with it what you like.

‘”hey are doing what is best for their careers.  Mr. Bock stated at the meeting thatcary/wake county should not be able to benefit from all the commercial land use that is on the line, meanwhile Mr. Bock opens up a pizza place in Cary/Wake County, make sense, no, talks out both sides of his mouth, yes.”

I would like to know what you mean by this. The average reader would read this and think your implying that Mr. Bock has somehow benefited financially through some back room deal with Wake County. Do you know something that we don’t? If so, then by all means tell the world. It is a serious accusation of impropriety and corruption. I am sure if Brian accused you of something this serious you would demand an apology or more. Being a public official does not mean he should have to accept this level of falsehood.

“Most were discussed in length by the BOC, until they came to Mt. Pisgah/New Hope Church Rd., where Mr. Horil “claims” he wants to build a home for aged in the middle of nowhere, with roads that can’t hold the traffic now.”

Here again, you are implying that Mr. Horil is somehow not being forthright with us. I have met Keith many times, and he does not strike me as a man to lie. If you know that he is planning on building something different, then you should share that information. Otherwise, this is underhanded character assassination, and you should be ashamed of yourself. You are implying that Mr. Horil is dishonest and unless you can prove such a claim, the onus of dishonesty falls onto your shoulders.

“Mr.Bock said it is the land owner’s rights to do what they want!!!?  Whatabout the surrounding landowners of these parcels, when roads have to be widen, sewers installed, new roads, schools, taxes, community services, wells affected, WHERE ARE MY RIGHTS MR.BOCK?  And if that is the case,’ landowners rights’, why have any of these meetings, MAPS, zoning boards, research? ”

In case you missed this part of the meeting, of which you attended, let me fill you in. Commissioner Stewart took time out of her life to drive around and speak to the landowners in question in this instance. Her experience was that the large majority of these landowners were on board with this plan. Mrs. Stewart further expanded her research to include those in properties surrounding the nodes, most of these folks on the outside wanted them extended to include their properties in the mixed use nodes. These folks wanted their land to carry the same value of those located in the nodes, and they want the freedom to have options to do with their land as they wish. This is a basic American principle, and I have no reason to believe that they should not have options as well, especially the option to maximize their land value. You ask where are your rights? Well, Ms. Fass, where are their rights?

“Some one is getting richer, and of course the average citizenis not, we will pay long term and so will the environment.  Be kind to our land and the residents of Chatham county, listen to us, there were very few residents at the June and July meetings that supported the unnecessary invasion of Cary and developers.”

Here again, who is getting richer? Mr. Bock with his implied backroom meetings? Mr. Horil and his soon to be developed adult superstore under the cover of a retirement home? Good grief. You do realize that developers and land owners are average citizens, no matter how hard to try to smear them as something else. You should also take note that not all that attend the same meetings as you are the affected land owners, nor are they even land owners who may be affected. Those people spoke to Commissioner Stewart. Those are the people that truly matter in this instance. As for Cary’s unnecessary invasion, you do know where you live right? Three major universities and one of the faster growing and job producing areas in the nation in the RTP. Development is a part of that and not having the foresight to see this is on you, not the rest of the world.

“Mr. Kost asked a raise of hands at theJune meeting,  approx.85% of the attendants were not in favor of the maps presented, yet Scott (?), friend of Mr. Bock’s,  at the July meeting brushed over the majority of hands and made it sound like there was no major concerns from the people.   What the hell is going on?  This has got to stop!!!”

First, we both know that these folks are the same folks that show up at all similar meetings and are against anything having to do with land. It is not difficult to imagine, or in my case, attend these meetings. 85% of those in attendance means nothing to me. One packed room is in no way a representation of the will of a majority. That will was displayed November 2nd.. What is important is the actual landowners affected, and those people spoke to Commissioner Stewart and let their feelings be known. I am sure an email was sent out by the Kost family to pack those meetings and that is fine, involvement is good. However, do not try and build this strawman of an overwhelming majority when we both know that a large majority of those folks at the meeting did not have any skin in the game. Thank goodness Ms. Stewart was willing to find out the real answer. As for Scott, well, if I remember correctly he is the town planner for Cary, but don’t let that stop you from implying that he and Mr. Bock are ‘friends’ due to their supposedly mutually beneficial relationship as you imply. Once again, if you have any proof I would like to see it, and I am sure the 85% at the meeting would like to know it too. What is going on is a process that is above board. Scott, you know, Brian’s “friend”, does not have the authority to do much of anything other than offer input and information, so I guess Mr. Bock cannot benefit from that relationship either. So much for that implication.

“We, the Residents of Chatham County, want an open discussion meeting withthe BOC/Cary, for the residents of Chatham county.  Mr. Bock look at the audience, make eye contact, hear us, protect Chatham county and do what you promised to do when you and the other commissioners were elected!”

I appreciate the fact that you speak for us all, but the fact of the matter is that you speak for yourself. If you think you know more than the rest of us then that level of arrogance is your problem. My family has been in this and surrounding counties for five generations. My grandfather was the banker in Siler City who saved farmers after the depression. My roots here are deep and my love for it is even deeper. My grandfather was the President of the Lions Club, the Chamber of Commerce, and won many awards as an outstanding citizen. He had a saying for folks like you. He would say,”If you don’t like us, then that road that you came here on, it has a lane heading in the other direction.”

I know Brian Bock very well, and consider him a close friend. He embodies the same traits that made my grandfather who he was. It is OK to disagree with him on an ideological level, I understand and respect that. However, making stuff up about him is dishonest and it needs to stop. He is a good man, and honest man, and a principled man.

Anyone claiming otherwise I will challenge to prove it. That challenge is being issued to you Ms. Fass.

Let these folks make their own decisions on what to do with their property. If rural life is what you seek, go west of Pittsboro. The triangle is growing, and will continue to. There is much great research going on, and it is employing the sons and daughters of North Carolina following their education here in the area. This is a good thing. If there is a demand for housing and land, then it will be met. We can do it responsibly and within reason. That is the reason for these land use meetings, not the twisted and underhanded reasoning you are claiming. An honest discussion can be had, but it starts with being honest. This is North Carolina, where we pride ourselves on manners and honesty. I hope you can find the ability to employ these traits that make my state, OUR state, so great.

Have a wonderful weekend

Subject: Sally Kost calls the Chatham Bookmobile a “Rolling Dinosaur”

Glad Mark Barroso had a chance to capture one of the last rides of the Chatham Bookmobile. A bookmobile, that county commissioner Sally Kost so unkindly referred to as a “rolling dinosaur” at the June 3, 2010 commissioners’ meeting.

During the 2010-11 budget process, the bookmobile was part of the consideration for discontinuance upon the opening of the new library. Chairman Sally Kost stated that as part of the budget recommendation that was presented to the Board in May, staff made the recommendation to take the resources that were used for the bookmobile and to use those to help offset some of the costs for the new Chatham Community library.

Sally Kost stated that as part of the budget that was presented, the Board added seven and one-half positions to open the new library and approximately $360,000.

Commissioner George Lucier stated that there were no surprises in terms of what was proposed to them in terms of costs for opening the new library; that the only thing the Board questioned was the bookmobile itself.

Mr. Elliott asked if the bookmobile was really eliminated for dollars. Commissioner Lucier stated, yes. Sally Kost stated that it was dollars, too.

Sally Kost stated that in the discussions that they had during the budget work sessions, they learned that there were stops in Siler City for the bookmobile; that she questions that because there is a branch of the library in Siler City; that although it may be convenient for someone to go to the bookmobile in Siler City, she thinks those of the kinds of questions they have to ask as to efficiency; that they are talking about cutting the hours or schedules which are kinds of things they are going to review.

The County Manager stated that he doesn’t think there was a consultant that said the library should be in north Chatham; that the site was always to be on the Pittsboro Campus because of the partnership with the Central Carolina Community College for that library; and that adding to the long-term plan from staff perspective is some of the developments in the northeast develop, they have been talking, with Briar Chapel, about space for a branch library.

Commissioner George Lucier stated that the County Manager was absolutely correct; and that the conditional use permit that was granted to Briar Chapel includes a library there.

Commissioner Lucier pointed out that the Library was next to the Community College, so students probably would migrate to it. It is also close to the Senior Center, he said.

Ms. Clark provided some history on bookmobiles, and said the Chatham County vehicle had declined since the 1970s. With the new library, and with people able to travel now, it would be best to consolidate their resources and encourage people, particularly children, to come in and have a relationship with the Library, she said.

Commissioner Lucier asked Ms. Clark if she thought day care centers would load kids up and take them to the Library. Ms. Clark replied that she thought they would. Commissioner Lucier said he thought that was more problematic, and Ms. Clark replied that transportation could be a bit of a problem. She talked with Friends of the Library about a project to deliver books to daycare centers that request them, she said.

According to a Sanford Herald article, a study showed that 536 people used the bookmobile in the past 12 months, and 222 also used another library.

In the article Commissioner Sally Kost said she would be impacted herself, as her home is a 44-mile round trip from Pittsboro. This is a strange illogical statement. Since Sally has to attend various county functions in Pittsboro as a county commissioner, she might just want to plan a little better and make a little extra time for herself to stop off at the brand new Chatham Community library on the CCCC Pittsboro campus and pick up the books she may be interested in.

Unfortunately the Abundance Foundation failed to muster much community support and *raise anywhere near the amount of money needed to keep the bookmobile running. *

The Chatham Bookmobile, which Sally Kost called a “rolling dinosaur” may be a thing of the past, but options are being considered to have the library serve the needs of more patrons.

At the June 1, 2011 commissioners’ budget meeting mention was made that the Chatham library is in the process of exploring offering e-books, Nooks or Kindles, so that people can get their material that way. In working with volunteers and with the Friends of the Library, they are looking at providing a volunteer program so that elderly and shut-ins, people who can’t or don’t have transportation could get access to materials.

Subject: a vast majority of well-behaved citizens

Pistole comments on the recent board decision to cancel any further discussion of the budget, saying:

“I’m not sure how anyone who looks at the situation objectively could be outraged.  The budget has been discussed for several months, objectives given to county departments, and public input sought in a number of formats.  Spending was reduced and core functions of government were given priority.  Any calls for outrage by citizens is only playing to emotion and not facts. Brian Bock, Pam Stewart, and Walter Petty have done exactly what they campaigned on in 2010. The majority of Chatham County supports them, despite the perception that a few on the far left wish to create.  If these three did not have the support of the county, all three would not have been elected.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the current majority on the Board of Commissioners won their seats by a very slim margin.  They did not win approval from the “vast majority” of Chatham County voters.  Nor do they represent all of us.  And they seem to have forgotten that there are FIVE elected officials on the board.

Bock, Petty and Stewart, who themselves had very little experience to guide them, could have made good use of the experience that Kost and Cross had as continuing members of the board.  Instead, they ignored them.  The recent board meeting was perhaps the most grievous example.  Kost and Cross were not even informed of the rest of the board members’ intentions to end discussions on the budget.  Did Bock, Steward and Petty somehow think that this wasn’t something that all the board members might want to know about, at the very least, or have a say in?

We’re told that Kost behaved badly by expressing her outrage.  She wasn’t being objective, I guess, according to Pistole..  She wasn’t paying attention to the facts.  No, I’m sorry, but I have to disagree.  Kost was outraged because she hadn’t been TOLD the facts -  that Bock, Steward and Petty had no intention of discussing the budget.  I would have been outraged, too!

According to Kelly, instead of “creating spectacles at public meetings,” well-behaved citizens are supposed to “go back to living their own lives and trusting their representatives to do their jobs based on
the principles they expressed during the campaign.”

It’s all well and good that some people have great confidence in their elected officials.  But citizens’ responsibilities in a democracy do not end at  the polls.  And elected officials should not feel obligated to fulfill only the expectations of people who voted for them.  They should know how to build consensus.  They should be willing to listen to opposing views and take them into consideration in making decisions.

Kelly worries that “it may appear there are more opponents of the new board than supporters by the attendance at BOC meetings.” Apparently, in Chatham County, too many people with opposing views chose to air them in public input sessions.  Not just “a few on the far left.”

So what’s a novice commissioner to do?  You certainly don’t want to run the risk of letting even more opposing views be heard!  Or deal with any more embarrassing public exhibits of protest!  Forget about open government!  Forget about paying attention to what the people want! Just be done with it!  Show them who’s boss!  Call a vote.

You’ll win.

As for the rest of us?  Just  go home and be good little citizens and keep your opinions to yourself.

Karen Crowell – not well-behaved enough to keep her opinions to herself. As the saying goes, well-behaved women seldom make history.  The same is true for citizens.
