Asheville: PARC Candidate Forum Tuesday April 13th
PARC Candidate Forum Tuesday April 13th!

Please join us for a Candidate's Forum
Tuesday, April 13th, 7PM.

PARC (People Advocating Real Conservancy) and MVA (Mountain Voices Alliance) will host Patsy Keever and Bruce Goforth, Democratic candidates for the NC House 115 District Seat.

This is an interesting election. Keever and GoForth differ on many land use issues that affect all of us, like steep slope development.

Did you know that...

• There is no landslide insurance in NC! If your house is damaged or lost to a slide, you are not covered.

• Builders, developers and realtors are not required to warn buyers of the potential dangers of landslides - and they cannot be held liable for concealing this information if one occurs.

• Land, mud and rockslides are increasing in WNC, costing millions in tax dollars for repairs. In the last six months, land, mud and rockslides in WNC and east Tennessee have destroyed parts of three major highways, and damaged at least five houses.

• In the aftermath of Hurricanes Ivan and Frances, 140 landslides occurred, destroying 27 homes and killing 5 people.

• There are people whose homes have been condemned because of damage from land, mud, and rockslides who cannot return to these homes... but they're STILL making mortgage payments!

This is just one of many issues to discuss with Keever and Goforth. Please come out and hear what they have to say.

The primary election takes place May 4th, and early voting begins April 15th.

We know that many of you have questions for Patsy Keever and Bruce Goforth. Please email them to us at info@ashevilleparc.org. Call Elaine at 273-1781 for more info about the Forum.

Come join us on Tuesday April 13th, from 7-9PM. Doors open at 6:30.

LOCATION --
The UU Church in Black Mountain
500 Montreat Road
Black Mountain, NC 28711

DIRECTIONS --
Take I-40 East of Asheville, to Exit 64 (Black Mountain).
Go left at the end of the exit, and go north on Route 9.
The UU Church will be on your right in about a mile.

Thanks to everybody for participating,
- the folks at PARC and MVA.
