Pittsboro Town Board majority voted to give almost 2 million dollars in public funds to a private developer?
Dear Chatlist and Pittsboro voters, Ugh. No one likes negative campaigning. And that “Fiocco Fiasco” flyer circulating over the weekend was certainly negative. Isn’t it a shame that anyone in our community feels so pressed by what’s happening to be moved to such negativism? And that flyer was redolent with opinions. YetContinue Reading
Cindy Perry & James Vose are the Sierra Club endorsed candidates for 2021
Since Fiocco, Baldwin, and Nass have *never* earned Sierra Club endorsement in any of the FIVE election cycles in which they’ve run (2009, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021), even if Virginia Penley’s story were true (Chatlist #7115), I find it very hard to believe that their endorsement applications were lost in theContinue Reading

Did Randy Voller put Virginia Penley up to be a mouthpiece for his views?
In a recent post, Ms. Penley defended Mr. Voller and Main Street cohorts using Chatham County Line as a source. Since Mr. Voller took over the community newspaper of Mr. Serano’s, it supports his agenda. So citing it creates a circular loop. Mr. Voller’s paper supports Mr. Voller. Ms. Penley complained theContinue Reading

Randy Voller’s wife steps in to defend Mr. Fiocco
How revealing that Randy Voller’s wife would step in to defend Mr. Fiocco. I understand that Randy is involved with the PAC that is spending money on behalf of Mr. Nass and Mr. Fiocco. Am I wrong? Further, Randy sits on the Main Street board with guess who? Mr. FioccoContinue Reading
