So, why would you choose to associate with such a person as Randy Voller? Voller’s long list of self-dealing: CollectedContinue Reading
I can’t stand by silently. I had to weigh in on the Town Commissioners race. I spent decades in regional real estate before moving to Pittsboro. I know the business. Relationships are everything. That’s why, even in retirement, I must say this anonymously. Because I know so many people still in theContinue Reading
