LOL, it isn’t the state government getting on your way. It’s your gods on council who get free passes simply for calling themselves progressive. When in fact they have allowed big corporations to build up the area and giving them freebies to do so. So you all keep looking to Raleigh as your scapegoats when the real people in control laugh at you behind your backs.
That’s what VOTING is for. We have the right to choose our representatives, but that only works when we vote and encourage everyone we know to do the same. Identify the progressives you support. Talk about them . Write letters here about them. And Get Out the VOTE!
‘progressive’ democrackkks are to be resisted in all legislation.
