Former ten year resident of Chapel Hill. Current Orange County taxpayer and landowner -developing
property for 32 homes in Carrboro EA One comment must be made about the ethics guidelines. Every
homeowner and consumer has a monetary stake in this issue, so the first point under the guidelines will
have to be modified somehow.
