I have lived in New Hanover County all my life, and I am also a studen at CFCC. CFCC is a great school, with great facilty and for the most part great students. I will be voting no for the bond. Not only is the timing wrong on this, there are also some principalites that voters should be aware of. Most of the students at CFCC are not from the Wilmington area. Most of them do not own property in New Hanover County. CFCC is crowded and in no way hurting for students. In my opinion it is ridiculous for the taxpayers of this county to pick up a huge bill that benefits mostly people from elsewhere. I think that it was a poor decision for the County Commissioners to allow this to be put on the ballot. If they want this issue to be voted on then they should have voted to issue a special ballot that would be mailed to the counties tax payers with their annual real property tax bill.
