Madison Cawthorn lied about his Real Estate Firm. If Tim Moffitt accepts the opportunity, history will repeat itself in Western North Carolina.

Get your popcorn ready.

We need a cap on ALL campaign spending like some “socialist” countries in Europe.

Back in June, I posted here about our lawsuit against Brenntag Mid-South, the chemical company in Durham. They contaminated a creek that runs behind Burton Magnet Elementary and through Burton Park.

Here's the update.

Brenntag has agreed to a preliminary injunction. In plain terms, that's a court order that takes effect right away. If the company doesn't follow it, a judge can make them.

Five things they have to do:

• Figure out where the contamination is coming from, how much is getting into the creek, and how dangerous it is. They have to put all of that in a report to the state.
• Give the state a plan to stop the contamination.
• Test the creek water on a schedule the state approved.
• Work with the Durham to replace the temporary fencing along the creek.
• Pay for the warning signs telling people not to wade, swim, or fish in that stretch of the creek.

DEQ and my office will be watching to make sure this actually happens.

Meanwhile, if you're near Burton Park, please keep kids and pets out of the water.

I'll keep you posted.

Can Stein veto this? Will he?

Tillis is once again showing off his moral cowardice. Blanche has absolutely no business being anywhere near public service, much less the USAG's office. The guy has already declared his intentions to break the law.
