<VV> Law moving thru the North Carolina legislature

[henry kaczmarek]

for those who don't live in NC

The cities mentioned in the bill are all around me . Cornelius and 
Huntersville (about 25 miles from the house) border Lake Norman, which is 
where most of the cryin' comes from.  Mostly Yankee transplants from New 
England who want to impose their views on us.

The other towns are mostly old textile  "mill towns" where the old "mill 
homes" are being torn down and replaced by McMansions, and the mills are 
being renovated into condominiums that sell up to the mid 6 figures.  Some 
areas have several "gated communities" where the covenants want you to 
submit your home color changes to the "association" and get approval before 
you paint your 600K home.   I think not.

Stanley, Mount Holly,and Cherryville are all within 20 miles of my place, 
though in different counties.  But Cherryville is only 6 miles down the 
road.

This was tried in Lincoln County/Lincolnton in 2004, our Commissioners 
listened, SEMA got involved, and the ordinance was changed to read that you 
can have as many non-operable vehicles on your property that you want, as 
long as they cannot be seen from a state right of way.  That protected all 
the people in subdivisions, as most of their homes aren't seen from the 
state roads.

I live on a state road, but I have my parts vehicles stashed behind my 
carport, which makes them invisible from the road.  You cannot use tarps or 
pallets, etc to screen your cars from the road---good dense shrubs or fences 
if necessary.

My NC house member is a young POS lawyer, who knows what I think of him. 
But I did inform my company president, who is a former SEMA board member, my 
boss who works on several SEMA committees, and our production manager who is 
past president of the Chamber of Commerce.  The latter is going to be on 
Lake Norman with the Assemblyman today.

He asked me if he should talk to him, or just throw him off the boat.

I told him it depends on his answer to the question--do you support this 
bill?
