      <![CDATA[@ShaneKirk - the NC Attorney General, who presumably is reading the same statutes that County Attorney Siler is, has reached a completely different conclusion. <br>
<br>
So please don't patronize us with your claims that "Siler has to follow the law."

      <![CDATA[@ShaneKirk,<br>
Technically legal perhaps, but ethical? SDD's lawyer approached the NCDOT cloaking this move as an act "to show good faith", not making them aware of the local zoning issue at hand, clearly manipulating them.

      <![CDATA[It is readily apparent that Siler was not persuaded by any of the attorney's but the law. If you read the statutes (just review the documents listed in this article) the law spells out the procedure that has to be taken to rescind the right-of-way and that procedure was not followed by NCDOT.<br>
<br>
While the opponents to this project do not like it, the developers used the law, as the opponents tried to do in filing their protest petition, as a tool to win approval.<br>
<br>
Siler has to follow the law and he was asked to give a legal opinion to the county which he did.

      <![CDATA[All notion of transparency and fairness flew out the window when Siler insisted on postponing his ruling until after the public hearing---a mere seventy-eight days after it was submitted by the petitioners. <br>
<br>
Uncanny how he was persuaded by Neal Hunter's attorney.
