Subject: Pittsboro Matters doesn’t have the numbers or the public support
While Brad Page claims that a few hundred belong to Pittsboro Matters, The truth is that number of active members actually less than 100.
As many of us know, it is standard operating procedure for Jeff Starkweather organizations to overstate their numbers and their importance.
Best part of Brad’s post is that he feels the burden of having to handle the Chatham Parks development because of the naivete of the general population of Chatham County.
You can not make this stuff up!

>We are asking them to represent ALL of us despite the fact that only 10% are registered voters in Pittsboro, Siler City and Goldston and in the last Municipal Election, November 3, 2014 in these three towns only 1400 actually showed up to vote. The previous year in the General Election those who actually voted totalled over 47,000, about 77% of the county.
The Town Board in Pittsboro on whom the major decisions rest regarding Chatham Park were elected by a total of 742 voters for two seats in November. I went to the Chatham County Election Results posted at http://www.chathamnc.org/
That puts a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of very few people.<
Basic Pittsboro Matters message to the general population of Chatham county: You people are too stupid to take care of yourself. You are too dumb to elect the correct officials and we care more about the well being of your families than you do. Just leave it up to us and we’ll take care of you, despite yourselves.
