ASHEVILLE
A ride on the county
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
This piece of excrement and her accomplices on the CURRENT and former BOC need long prison sentences. Gantt and Newman especially.
Over & over & over you’ve been invited to point to any specific evidence of wrongdoing by those two. You have never produced a shred. Most people with any shame would have given it up by now.
Certainly Gantt, probably Newman. I helped elect Newman to his first office. HUGE disappointment, especially his total betrayal of smartgrowth instead of ZONING! I never fell for Gantt, though he already had a voting record when I moved here.
I like how the artist carefully captured Wanda’s muffin top. Great work!
Nice work, Molton.
That situation is just horrendous and every ugly detail ought to be reported loudly and forthrightly plus whatever the just punishment, it should occur. Taxpayers are really fed-up with self-serving politicians soaking our wallets for their benefit. Just like with Congress settling harassment claims with our money! Expose them too, kick the offenders out and shut down that funding.
We are still waiting for a lengthy statement from David Gantt about this matter . WHERE IS HE ?
Hiding with Al Franken.
But, soon, it’ll be, “Al who?” He’s a goner. Maybe Gantt should join him.
Are either of you aware that David Gantt is no longer in office?
yes, but also aware that he is largely responsible for Wandagate …. In a real world he would be ashamed of himself and come forth with some words… democrackkks always FAIL to take responsibility.
