Thank you to both Meiling Dai (for her letter in todays Mountain Xpress) and to Patsy Wright Gardin (for her letter in todays Tribune). They are reproduced below: Voters in North Carolina House District 116 considering whether to vote for Rep. Tim Moffitt or Brian Turner should consider the following facts: During his tenure in office, Moffitt was the sole sponsor of a law that restored the vote on annexation to the people of North Carolina after 53 years of being deprived of the constitutional right to vote on this issue and being subject to “forced annexation.” Rep. Moffitt also co-sponsored a law that voided Asheville’s zoning authority in six extraterritorial jurisdiction areas, returning them to Buncombe County. The law sponsored by Rep. Moffitt and other legislators transferring Asheville’s water system to the Buncombe County Sewerage District would prevent future voluntary annexation by Asheville in areas supplied by city water should the Sullivan Acts be voided. Fracking will probably not take place in WNC due to a recent government agency’s decision based on the inhospitable terrain of the mountains. During his time in office, Rep. Moffitt has attempted to pass bills that correct past wrongs and that benefit constituents. He serves on 21 or more legislative committees. Early voting starts on Oct. 23 and the general election is on Nov. 4. Please vote YES for Representative Moffitt! Meiling Dai Asheville ------------------------- Many lifelong Democrats have left their party because it has gone too far left. But still, many voters don’t know that Republicans in North Carolina, led by Speaker Thom Tillis, Representatives Nathan Ramsey, Tim Moffitt, and Michelle Presnell, and Senators Tom Apodaca and Chuck McGrady, inherited billions in expenses for which there was woefully inadequate revenue. Democrats had gone too far. They required neither accountability nor adequate income for massive expenditures. NC Democrats took one-time federal stimulus money for what they knew were permanent expenses, such as teachers pay. After years of asking teachers and other state employees for pay freezes, Gov. Perdue and her Democrats left us in a terrible jam. Now since temporary federal money has ended, they call it a “cut” to education in their ads. Their plan was to increase taxes. But fortunately Republicans were elected to power in NC – after 140 years- and quickly cut government waste, lowered taxes, passed laws to help – instead of hurt – businesses, created thousands of jobs. Republicans actually increased spending on education by $1 billion. Vote for Republicans Tillis, Ramsey, Moffitt, Presnell, Apodaca, Crawford, and McGrady for more economic growth, better jobs, and new opportunities. Patsy Wright Gardin Asheville, NC
