DavisandHighHouse.org (DHH), after non-partisan and careful consideration, is endorsing the following candidates in Cary’s elections on October 11, 2011: 

Mayor                   Harold Weinbrecht

At Large                Lori Bush

District D              Gale Adcock

District B – although Jeff Foxx http://vote.jefffoxx.com/ is a new comer, voters are encouraged to consider his candidacy.  A representative focused on the entire district, not just downtown Cary interests, might be beneficial to residents. 

The Cary citizens represented by DHH believe that there are two major issues in the upcoming elections that need voter attention:

1. Representation of current residents’ best interests over those of developers and other special interests.

2. Effective management of any additional growth in our maturing community

Representation of residents – local government is a challenging dynamic of many voices and sometimes conflicting interests.  It is imperative that citizens know that the officials they have elected to represent them are doing just that and not representing or being unduly influenced by special interests. 

Four years ago, Mayor Harold Weinbrecht made a commitment to create a new degree of openness in local government so that residents of Cary could know what is going on in Town Hall and how their business is being conducted.  We believe that Mayor Weinbrecht has done an extraordinary job in meeting that commitment to Cary residents. 

The interests of Cary citizens are not well represented by candidates who are serving special interests, ideologically inflexible or who publicly state that they believe it is acceptable to play dirty tricks and deceive voters. 

DHH believes that electing Harold Weinbrecht, Lori Bush and Gale Adcock will provide the leadership to continue working toward the goal of having Cary municipal government conducted in a manner that is fiscally responsible, open, honest, respectful, unbiased and fair. 

Growth – Cary is a maturing community.  Much of the available land in the downtown and east side of Cary is now infill within established neighborhoods.  Many Cary residents are disturbed by the clear cutting and dense development (approved before 2007) which has had a terrible effect on what could have been the charm and character of the west side of Cary.  Cary’s water supply, Jordan Lake, is already polluted and in serious jeopardy from the continuing encroachment of dense development.  There is a plan being formulated by Chatham County and Cary to annex Chatham County land on the east shore of Jordan Lake for commercial and residential development that would place more than 20,000 residents on the lake’s watershed.

Cary citizens are under no obligation to passively allow exploitative and destructive growth initiated by out of town and out of state development companies (including those masquerading as small businesses) which diminishes both our quality of life as well as the value of our investments in our homes and neighborhoods. 

DHH believes that electing Harold Weinbrecht, Lori Bush and Gale Adcock will provide the leadership to focus on balanced growth, to assess proposed development based on what is in the best interest of the community, to evaluate and change the remaining overly complex and opaque processes in Town Hall and to effectively manage non-destructive and non-exploitative growth for Cary residents.
