I understand that Senator Sanderson took the exact request from the County Commissioners but what neither you nor the good Senator are able or willing to admit is that the request was poisonous fruit and in all good conscience should never have been passed in the manner in which it was done AND YOU BOTH KNOW THAT. Instead of doing what is right for the citizens of this county you both are playing political games hiding behind your flimsy excuses to appease your TEA Party masters. You are purposely overturning the will of the voters without any input or consideration from said voters. You both should be ashamed of your rolls in perpetrating such a fraud on our county elections. There is still time for you to do the right thing and amend the bill to make it a referendum. This entire process was hidden from the public from the very beginning and to continue to say that you are following the will of the county is a lie. If you really want to follow the will of the county make this bill a referendum. If this bill becomes law ALL of you involved in this unholy process are going to find out electorally just how unpopular this power grab is with the voters of Carteret County. We will not forget. Roger Eaton

When I was a County Commissioner I expected that of my state representative and senator. We had no input to the way the resolution was passed. Senator Sanderson took the exact request from Carteret County Commissioners and wrote the legislation. Thanks Pat Pat McElraft Sent from my iPhone
