"If our interest was purchasing influence we would just focus on [campaign] contributions" -- KB Home spokesman Tim Pittman discussing KB Homes' announcement to donate $100 for every home it sells in Cary this year to the Cary Community Foundation. I give KB credit for two things: 1. Telling it like it is regarding purchase of influence through campaign contributions (See previous post on this topic), and 2. KB was not among the list of mega-contributors I found for the 2003 CTC campaign, other than maybe indirectly through the HBA.
The $100 is a self-imposed impact fee, at least a start...
A little anarchy goes a long way

Do you agree that CTC members should get lifetime health benefits after serving 4 terms?
Quote(s) of the Year
"Change has a considerable
psychological impact on the
human mind. To the fearful
it is threatening because
it means that things may get
worse. To the hopeful it is
encouraging because things
may get better. To the
confident it is inspiring
because the challenge exists
to make things
better." - King Whitney Jr.
As quoted by Marla Dorrel in

Do not settle for representatives who cater to special interest groups, while we struggle to find classrooms for our children
A Constructive Approach
Have roads, water/sewer capacity and schools in place before growth occurs.
