Thanks for showing Pless’ spiteful actions

To the Editor:

Thanks to Scott McLeod for pointing out the inappropriate control Mark Pless wants to have in local affairs.

 

From overruling local decisions for zoning made by local elected officials, to sponsoring bills to make local elections partisan against the wishes of local elected officials and voters, to seeking millions to rebuild Central Haywood High which the elected school board says they don’t need, Rep. Pless has shown himself to be nothing but a power-hungry control seeker.

He even admitted his bills weren’t always for the good of the people: “I do some really bad stuff, and I do some good stuff; it just depends on which side of the bed I crawl out of as to which you get sometimes.” Please contact this worthless legislator and complain, then vote against him when you get a chance. Thank you for reporting on this terrible representative.
