The city and and county neglected their citizens by having their priorities out of order and are now issuing mandates for a problem they created.
The reason only two people showed up to provide public input is because it is a lost cause to express displeasure.It looks good from a public relations standpoint that they are indeed receptive to feedback.CFPUA is one of the major downsides of being a resident in New Hanover County.They lost the public's confidence from their inception.You are judged by first impression,which was a very caustic attitude towards the community.There is not a better spokesperson for a caustic attitude than Jim Quinn.
