Beaudreau's Interaction With Constituents Over Airport

Since Mike was elected by us to represent us, it seems the only "information" he needs to know is what we the citizens and voters want him to do.

Please take time to watch the of how Mike Beaudreau interacts with his constituents.  How disappointing that citizens trying to express their opposition to an issue under consideration are met with such a condescending attitude from their elected commissioner. Granted this is an emotional issue for homeowners as they see the BOC preparing to take action that will decrease their home values. 

C4BG members have provided many studies to BOC members which document passenger aviation does devalue residential property.  A study performed by the University of North Carolina-Greensboro documented the mere announcement of an airport expansion of the Greensboro airport in the late 1990's caused affected home values to decline by 9 percent.

Beaudreau says he wants more information to make a decision.  Since Mike was elected by us to represent us, it seems the only "information" he needs to know is what we the citizens and voters want him to do.
