I wonder why the people in Kannapolis re-elected Darrell Hinnant as mayor when he did not fulfill any promises he made the first time around. His slogan was jobs, jobs, jobs. Where are those jobs?

All I have seen from City Council members Diane Berry and Doug Wilson is spending our tax money on useless stuff like a double-decker carousel that will never pay for itself. They want to move the baseball stadium uptown, which is going to cost millions of dollars. This is a stadium that never made a profit.

They want to make Lane Street a two-lane road with bike lanes. I am glad I will not have to get on Lane Street to go anywhere.

Where is the money going to come from for all of this? Higher taxes, I am sure. We should have gotten new people in office. Apparently, only about 1-2 percent of Kannapolis even voted. Just don’t start complaining when your city taxes go up.
