Another Rocky Mount Citizen speak up about the Event Center

This person hit the nail on the head,

I hate to disappoint you, but many of us naysayers are tired of paying for buildings and other objects in hopes that it will attract businesses and industries.

No buildings are going to help the situation until utilities, crime, taxes and race relations decrease. Why should we pay for something that may take 10 or more years to profit just so we can say we have an event center?

Come Clean, McCrory! Press Conference & Rally

Wednesday, March 5, 2014

4:45pm until 6:00pm Face book event link here https://www.facebook.com/events/482483245196738/

· 

Toxic coal ash from one of Duke Energy's 32 toxic coal ash lagoons has poisoned the Dan River. Now is the time to finally come clean. Gov. Pat McCrory's administration should stop treating polluters as "partners" and "customers." Duke Energy must clean up the Dan River and all of its toxic coal ash lagoons - at no cost to tax-payers or electricity rate-payers. McCrory must protect our water supplies. And Gov. McCrory must come clean on his own personal financial ties to Duke Energy. Disclose the conflicts of interest. Disclose the value of his Duke Energy company stock. Disclose all information turned over to a federal grand jury, as the U.S. Attorney is now investigating.

Come Clean, McCrory!
Press Conference & Rally
Wednesday, March 5th
4:45 PM to 6:00 PM
Governor's Mansion
200 Blount Street
Raleigh, NC 27601

Wear blue to create a river of accountability in front of the Governor's mansion. Bring your own (respectful) signs or borrow one of ours. Just be there, and bring friends, to let McCrory know: it's time to take responsibility and come clean. The people of North Carolina both deserve and demand it.

Haven't signed the petition yet? You can do so at www.comecleanmccrory.com. Thanks!

Notice a new door to door scam in Rocky Mount

If someone comes to your door "claiming" to be raising money for COOPERS FIRE DEPARTMENT Do NOT give him money. COOPERS is not raising money going door to door. Suspect is a male (can't give race or features as we will be called racist) driving a vehicle (can't give you the color or kind of that either because someone will call us being discriminatory).
