The Majority Has Spoken

The majority has spoken? What a joke. That is not true. The only thing I can say good is that I hope Ms. Harris knows she isn't wanted in Mount Holly politics anymore.

Um...isn't that what voting is? How can it not be true. If people didn't get out and vote, they have no right to complain about who is in office.

I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around.(Mostly Liberals) They say, "If you don't vote, you have no right to complain", but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain.
I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for what these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created.

The Majority has spoken! Congrats to Jim, David, Jerry, and Bryan. To those of you who did not win thanks for putting your name in the game. It takes a real strong person to do that and I respect everyone for that.
If you love Mt. Holly please watch what you say on this site. I have read this site and we look like a bunch of idiots. I have read other towns and we are the worst. If you have a real issue and facts to back it up go to the paper or council directly. This is not the place to air dirty laundry. Thanks.

Watch what you say? You sound like one of those people who is worried about appearances? You know, the Citizens Center, having MH's name on the WhiteWater Park, a pretty streetscape (whether it was done right or not).
The truth is the truth and we do no one any favors by covering up all of the wrongs that were done with the give away of MH taxpayer money to the Mecklenburg County White Water Park and the purchasing of a $450,000 piece of land that's not even worth 20% of that.
Sorry, lady, Mount Holly is not made up of rich people who can throw away money carelessly. If you really drive around through all of MH's neighborhoods you will see that these are hard working people who deserve to have their tax money spent wisely and not foolishly.
I will give Hope and Hough a chance, but if they continue their ways, I will shine the light.

Are you serious? Maybe if you voted for who was elected then you should not complain, but if you voted, at least you cared enough to take some action, and cast your vote.
If you do not vote, then you either do not care or you are too lazy and do not want to take the time to research the candidates and make an informed decision to vote for the person or persons that you think are best for the positions.
We all are responsible for an elected officials actions once they are elected to an office. If they are not doing the job, then vote them out the next time.
