What seems to be is Mount Holly has all of the budget to "pollute" the Catawba with phosphorus and nitrogen. Charlotte wants to "take" that polluting-budget to serve its own needs.

Notice that HOMEOWNERS, VOTERS, CITIZENS of Mt. Holly are NOT invited to participate/negotiate! And if you think your councilpersons are negotiating and participating for you HOMEOWNERS, VOTERS, and CITIZENS with only your best interest in mind, you are naive! Why you need good quality councilpersons who represent ONLY the voters of Mount Holly is to ensure OUR interests are represented over and above all these groups below.
