From reading articles in newspapers across the state, particularly Raleigh and Charlotte, it appears that our media have been misinformed, misunderstand, or simply accept statements given them by pro-forced annexation proponents.
Annexation would not come to a screeching halt if those being victimized by FORCED annexation had a vote. 86% of North Carolina’s annexations are voluntary; and they have a VOTE.

The Good News about Jesus Christ speaks about the forgiveness of sins. Are we sinners? The Bible declares, “There is no distinction; for all have sinned” (Romans 3:22-23). If this is true, we deserve punishment for our sins. In the end, death is the penalty for all sin.

Governor Beverly Perdue’s proposed FY 2010-2011 budget cuts nearly $1 billion in spending and reallocates $250 million to programs that will reform state government but some Nash County residents are worried the cuts go too far.
One such cut proposed in the budget is the elimination of in-home personal care services for adults and instead, creating a new program for adults with the most intense needs.
