		<description><![CDATA[Mint Hill has a couple commissioners that have been in their position too long. We need term limits for all elected positions. It almost seems that after a while, no one watches what they do. A couple actions during the year do not add up to doing what is best for the tax payers.

How about mandatory, random drug and alcohol tests? Any other town employee has to pass the test. Why not the commissioners? Oh, and they have to pay for the tests out of their own pocket too. Anyone who fails is immediately removed. If they cannot be responsible in their personal lives, how can they act in the best interest of the tax payers and our money?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Randall,

Thank you.   You are completely right in your response.  I too believe that the citizens of Matthews are not informed about the leadership of Matthews.  I have personally learned how citizens are treated.  You put your trust in these people only too learn that they do not care. Oh, the story I could tell you.  I did not vote this past election because in my opinion there was no one to vote for and my time is important to me.  Please check out the &quot;Technology Allowance Policy&quot;  this is where the leadership allows themselves an allowance every two years for new computer, internet service, cell phones and phone service all paid for by the citizens of Matthews.
