Editor’s Note: The views expressed in this and any other letter to the editor, past, present, or future do not necessarily reflect the editorial opinion of Home in Henderson.
After many weeks of questions from the Henderson City Council’s Community Development Committee, and many attempts to get a handle on the concerns of Henderson attorney Michael Satterwhite’s clients, a list was finally presented on Aug 1, 2007.
With less than two weeks before the final vote, it answered some questions. However, a brief and partial analysis of the client list using the online State of NC Secretary of State website and the Vance County Tax Office website created more questions than it answered for many Home in Henderson readers.
Take a look at this partial listing and see what questions you want to add to the list.
