LaNasa seems to have been pushed aside by the "local powers" even though he makes some valid legal arguments. Instead of allowing the system to proceed according to the law, the County Commissioners appear to be circumventing the law - effectively telling citizens that in order to b granted legal rights, they must sue the government to exercise their rights. The County Commissioners have no respect for taxpayers and the hard working citzens of the County, retirees, anyone that isn't one of their friends and supporters has no legal standing with these elected officials.
It's really time for a change, and the only hope we have for any change would be Brian Berger. At least he seems to get it, unlike the others. I'm going to vote for Berger and see if he is the "real mccoy" and hope that electing Berger is a start in the right direction. Unfortunately, he's the only one with the guts to challenge these good ole boys and he's earned the chance to prove himself in public office. We need more than one person to change our corrupt government, but I'm becoming more and more convinced Brian is the best thing for New Hanover County and the only chance to make a change this November.
And I hope Justin LaNasa keeps up the fight and runs for City Council or another office again...he's earned respect!!!
