Why would we want to re-elect Nancy Carter. She refuses to stand up for the issues facing East Charlotte. She has never put a motion before council to stop the demise the busines community along Indep. Blvd, Eastland Mall or any other negative issue facing our community.
She has never had a viable opposition and Darrell Bonpart has been active in the community working hard for East Charlotte.
I'm a former Nancy Carter supporter, who will be voting for Darrell Bonapart.
