I have been a resident of Snow Creek Road for 27 years. This is home to my family.
We have good neighbors and friends in our community. I hope that I don’t have an enemy with Phil McLain because we disagree with the location of a biodiesel plant. In all honesty, it is a chemical plant.
I think Steve Johnson, our elected county commissioner, insulted all the Snow Creek residents with his comment in the R&L.
Mr. Johnson said if we didn’t like the smell of the honey truck, we the Snow Creek neighbors could just move back to town. What a wonderful solution to our problems on Snow Creek Road, from our elected county commissioner.
Does Mr. Johnson think that money issues are on the same level as the safety of our families and children?
Is Mr. Johnson not concerned with the devaluation of our property, and our community?
My question to Mr. Johnson is this: if this chemical plant was going into your neighborhood, would you have voted for it? I think you would have fought the location of the plant, as hard as our neighborhood is fighting against it right now.
Commissioners Johnson, Marvin Norman, Godfrey Williams and Kenneth Robertson all voted for something they really have no knowledge of. Or they just don’t care what dangers or effect it might have on our neighborhood.
These men were elected by Iredell County citizens to represent Iredell citizens. They have failed at their jobs probably because they did not represent the Snow Creek community at all.
I don’t know what the outcome of all of this will be.
I just know that in any coming elections for county commissioners there will be three votes against the four of you from my household.

Mr.Taylor leaves no doubt in my mind that our elected commissioners have again put special interests ahead of logic and knowledge. The four headless horsemen were uninformed and uneducated regarding the facts. They ignored the pleas and information from seventy two citizens and voted in favor of modifying the land use plan. This resulted in a lawsuit.Northern Iredell County will remember these commissioners in 2008 and in years to come.Ken Robertson and Godfrey Williams - kiss your seats goodbye and remember you did it to yourselves.
