I watched in dismay as to how Mr. Foxx and his other Socialist Thugs on the council debated how they could take money from the sale of a property to Little Rock AME Zion Church and use it for the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture after being told by the city attorney that the money specifically by law must go to affordable housing or something along those lines and that it would be illegal to use the money for the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture. Well wouldn't you know these shady unethical council members like Mr. Foxx found a loophole where they could transfer the money into an approved fund and then turn around and take the money back out of the fund to then give to the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Arts & Culture. We're talking about $590,000! Don't they call that money laundering? Shouldn't that money be used for more important things like additional police, housing for the homeless, or find a way to use it for retaining the teachers CMS is going to have to eventually lay off? But instead of voting this down and taking a stand for what is right and lawful, Mr. Foxx and the others voted to refer it for further review. And we know what that means! Don’t we? And then there was a motion for the ability of the council to impose a citywide 1/2 cent sales tax increase for transportation, in the middle of one of the worst recessions in the history of this country. But sadly it passed. All Democrats including Mr. Foxx and our own "RINO" on the council John Lassiter voted in favor of this measure. And their defense was that it just gives them the ability to bring it to the people for a vote and was not seeking an additional increase at present time. Now let me ask you, how often does government put a tool in their toolbox only to never use it? How about NEVER!!! I do want to thank Warren Cooksey, Andy Dulin, Edwin Peacock, & Mayor McCrory for taking a stand for true Republicism and against the "money laundering scheme" and the tax increase. So Charlotte if you want more Big Government, Higher Taxes, and more Ridiculous Spending; Mr. Anthony Foxx is your guy. Or maybe you choose our very own liberal Republican John Lassiter; you'll receive the same from him too. Can’t we find someone who will Reduce Government Size, Reduced Spending, and Lower Taxes? Is there anyone who will truly go to work on the behalf of the great citizens of Charlotte?
