♦ Golden Memories of N.C. Sen. Fletcher Hartsell, from Concord, Who is Not Running Again and “Wants to Be with His Family”. How Hartsell’s votes affected Rowan County and Salisbury, N.C.:
• Fletcher Hartsell supported maintaining the archaic forced annexation laws in North Carolina. That proved disastrous for folks who were forcibly annexed and got an inequitable exchange from Salisbury.
• He snaked Rowan County when the City of Salisbury needed someone in Raleigh to do its dirty work on the Tourism Development Authority and put it under Salisbury’s control.
• He supported the City of Salisbury against Rowan County on the restructuring of the ABC Board to protect one person’s job there.
• He struggled to prevent the Rowan County Airport De-Annexation bill for the City of Salisbury. Luckily that didn’t happen.
• He promoted an exception for Salisbury’s “Fibrant” enterprise in the Broadband bill which led Salisbury to the brink of social and finacial collapse. Salisbury has a lot of pocket lint and little else.
• North Carolina Senator Fletcher Hartsell won’t Run for Re-Election After All:
