With the Cary mayoral and town council election six weeks away, Nels Roseland and Ernie McBulldozer are proudly announcing a new 'Land Banking' initiative to provide land for the schools we need and keep feeding the development monster. Ernie's going to raise $2.5M by levying school-impact fees on developers. Funny, we had those in place before and Ernie eliminated them right after the election. The story is on the WRAL website.
A great quote in the article:
"To approve thousands of new houses and developments in Cary without taking responsibility, or some responsibility, to provide school resources would be irresponsible on our part," Roseland said.
That is exactly what Nels and Ernie have done for the past four years. They have fueled record-high growth rates and done zip for schools. I appreciate the fact that Mr. Roseland is finally admitting that he has been 'irresponsible,' and that same label applies to mayor McBulldozer.
Personally, I am thrilled at this announcement. Like everyone else I know in Cary, I believe another four years of Ernie will allow him to finish what he started and leave no tree behind. We have to have a change in leadership. The fact that these two 'leaders' are announcing this six weeks before the election tells me they are finally beginning to understand that there is a price to pay for ignoring Cary citizens' needs and pimping our town to developers. Go vote on October 9th, and show these two politicians what you think of their representation over the last four years.
Finally, another gem of a quote from Nels Roseland:
"We have to think outside of the box to address the school crisis"
Joe's translation: "We have to think outside the ballot box and cover our behinds before Oct 9"
