Subject: Independent Weekly Reporter Harasses a Pittsboro Voter?

Excerpt from a letter submitted to the Pittsboro Town board and that appeared in whole at http://chatham-county-nc.com/bulletinboard/index.php/topic,15671.15.html

10/26/2009

“Mayor, Commissioners, Town Manager, Attorney, Clerk, and residents, my name is Faythe Canson Clark, and this is my daughter, Maya Canson Clark.  We live at 50 Chatham Forrest Drive, Pittsboro, NC.”

“On Sunday, October 26th, I returned from the grocery store to find a person parked in the lot.  When I exited my car, she asked, “Do you live here?”  When I told her yes, she asked if I was Faythe Canson Clark.  I immediately became defensive as this person I had never seen before seemed to know more about me than I cared for them to know.  She immediately, without identifying herself, went into being told that there was someone living erroneously at a business address and using it to vote in the Town.  Then she asked me if I rent here.  I, of course told her it was none of her business and walked away.”

The person who came out to Faythe Clark’s home was Rebekah Cowell, an Independent Weekly reporter.
