Mr. Krammer, I apologize for misspelling you name (and more than once at that). Mr. Johnny Whitfield (I hope I spelled his name correctly) at the East Wake News was kind enough to alert me of my mistakes.
He is a good newspaper man. In just a few questions he figured out that I don't necessarily think the airport is the best answer to our situation. I told him that "I think it is our only answer because our town is not working together. The land owners, developers, planning department, and various boards are not working together." Mr. Whitfield asked me if I knew about the recent attempt by our town to work with land owners to create a bussiness park in the Eagle Rock area. I had not. Wendell's government is really trying hard to take this town in a positive direction, but all the property owners involved would not agree to the idea. I told Mr. Whitfield that if Wendell was a publically traded corporation, we would be prime for a hostile take over."
Eminent domain is not the best answer, but it may be this towns only answer.
I look forward to Mr. Krammer's comments and hope that more people would join the discussion about the airport idea.
