My name is Gary Jones, a resident of Buncombe County and a member of the Conservative Thunder social network of conservative activists and a recent graduate of Thunder Pig's series of classes to produce new conservative bloggers in Western North Carolina.
My news beat and areas of interest include the municipalities in Buncombe County and local issues where conservatives should be getting involved, or are getting involved and doing it in such a manner as to cause more problems than if they hadn't. If you live and work in Buncombe County you know exactly the people I am referencing. They mean well, but are totally tone deaf, ignorant and cannot rub two words together without murdering their native tongue.
This is my inaugural post on Thunder Pig, mirrored on Conservative Thunder, and it concerns a public meeting held by the Town of Black Mountain regarding the potential sale of property to a developer for the purpose of constructing a Walgreens in the Town of Black Mountain.
Cue the socialist horde opposing the deal. But, if you live inside the city limits of any municipality in Buncombe County, you know that this is where the socialists tend to congregate.
