The next chapter in the Privette soap: tomorrow!

As a kid I used to watch "Dallas" on TV with my parents.
I must say that these days Coy Privette outperforms Dallas By far.
From refusing to resign as commissioner after hiring a prostitute 6 times, to announcing he will resign after all, to basically saying he will only resign if he can handpick his successor, to saying he will resign after his house will get sold while his house isn't even for sale, this soap keeps going on and on.
I wholeheartedly invite you to join me at the County Commissioner meeting tomorrow, because this is the best live entertainment you can see and it's totally free!

The meeting starts at 6.30 in the County Governmental building on Church Street in Concord. You can click here to see a map and get directions.

You might recall the last chapter in the Coy soap as i reported about it in an earlier post.
As far as I know the story hasn't really evolved much since then, although I'm sure there have been a lot of discussions going on behind closed doors. Basically, Privette refuses to resign until he agrees with whoever succeeds him, while the Executive Committee of the Republican party (who by law needs to appoint the successor) refuses to discuss any successors until Privette resigns.
To turn up the pressure on Privette, his colleague commissioners have asked the County Attorney to make report on how they can limit Privette’s role as representative of the board and the county. They will receive that report tomorrow and then decide on further actions.
Knowing Privette a little by now, I'm sure he'll pull another surprise out off his hat.

Speaking of soaps, there's another one on the program for tomorrow. Commissioners will also review a “final” (we've heard that before) compromise proposed for the controversial 480-bed downtown jail housing unit. Commissioner Grace Mynatt has worked with local residents, who filed a lawsuit against the City of Concord for granting the county a conditional use permit to build the jail, to find a redesign that could meet current jail space needs, but also end the lawsuit.

Other important items on the County Commissioner meeting agenda tomorrow are:

* Commissioners will consider beginning the process to issue up to $145 million in certificate of participation bonds (COPs) in January to address major school construction funding.

* Commissioners agreed to partner with Kannapolis and contribute up to $168.4 million in taxes for 20 years from a district surrounding the campus to pay off bonds for community improvements needed for the campus’ success.
Commissioners want to see if the county’s contributions to the bonds may begin to decline once Kannapolis sees revenue from campus taxes.

You can find the complete agenda for tomorrow's meeting on the Cabarrus County website.

It promises to be an exciting meeting tomorrow. I'll see you there.
