Want2Dish Donnamarie Needle: MT. AIRY RESIDENTS GET STUCK WITH THE BILL


MT. AIRY RESIDENTS GET STUCK WITH THE BILL


The I-70 annexation was once again the topic of discussion at the Mount Airy Town Council meeting on July 11. The mayor recently negotiated a plan for the $22,000 bill owed to the town by the I-70 petitioners to be split between the town and the petitioners.

Councilwoman Wendi Peters and Councilman David Blais were the two votes against the agreement to split the bill between the two parties. After a lengthy review of documents obtained through the recent Public Information Act request (and primarily between one council member and one of the representatives of the south I-70 annexation dating back to August of 2009) council members uncovered that the I-70 petitioners understood it would cost approximately $25,000 to execute the annexation.

These petitioners admittance that they had full knowledge and were in complete understanding of what the annexation costs would be, therefore both council members believe the petitioners should be responsible for the full bill.

Councilwoman Wendi Peters is no stranger to small town, cut-throat politics. Having served the Town of Mount Airy in various capacities, Peters is passionate about preserving the small town where she grew up. “I have always appreciated that Mount Airy is a special place with a rich history, a strong sense of community and people who stand ready to help when one of us is in need. These things together, embody the small town we so value.” 

In 2008, when Peters was running for council re-election. Kevin Dayhoff, a writer for the Tentacle, wrote: ...    http://frederick.want2dish.com/articles/1186/business/county_city/2011/07/04/mount_airy_councilwoman_wendi_peters

Donnamarie Needle - Mt. Airy: THE RIGHT PLAN FOR THE FUTURE? OR A KNEE JERK REACTION?

THE RIGHT PLAN FOR THE FUTURE? OR A KNEE JERK REACTION? http://frederick.want2dish.com/articles/318/stir_it_up/editorial/2010/12/02/the_right_plan_for_the_future_or_a_knee_jerk_reaction



On Monday, Dec. 6, the Mt. Airy Town Council will render its decision on the controversial I-70 annexation request.

Mt. Airy is no stranger to annexation controversy.  However, this time it appears the tables are turned. For the most part, those who have always fought against annexation, support the I-70 annexation. Those who have been proponents of annexations in the past are extremely skeptical and are still waiting for answers to their concerns. 

According to the Carroll County Times, the rezoning of a 600-acre area south of I-70 for business and industrial purposes was part of a draft comprehensive plan also known as Pathways to Carroll’s Future Landscape...  http://frederick.want2dish.com/articles/318/stir_it_up/editorial/2010/12/02/the_right_plan_for_the_future_or_a_knee_jerk_reaction

The Mount Airy Blog: Always a Few “Whining Winners”

Always a Few “Whining Winners”

......To Sour The Thrill of Victory...

http://mountairyblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/always-few-whining-winners.html#comments

I would like to take this opportunity to send a big congratulations out to Mayor-elect Pat Rockinberg as well as David Blais and Scott Strong for winning the two Town Council seats on May 3.

The Mayoral race was very close. With that, I hope Mayor-elect Rockinberg will recognize he does not have a mandate. He must embrace all the voters, including the 47% who voted for Wendi Peters. I know these three men will work diligently along with fellow council members Peter Helt, Dave Pyatt and Wendi Peters to bring back the stability and continuity that's been missing over the past several years.
