As we witness the increasing prevalence of PTSD among our law enforcement officers, it is imperative that we extend a newfound appreciation and support for the challenges they face in the line of duty. By acknowledging the mental and emotional toll that their service can take, we can usher in a culture of understanding and empathy towards those who sacrifice so much to protect our communities. Let us offer our gratitude, compassion, and encouragement to these brave men and women, showing them that their well-being and mental health are valued and supported. Together, let us stand as a united front in honoring and uplifting our law enforcement officers during their times of need.

It was a night of contradictions. Reportedly, a party opposing the BID had vandalized the car of a proponent in an act of intimidation that could only increase demand for the BID. Then, opponents complained about a private-sector company stepping up to do what they thought government should be doing but wasn't. Either way, the BID was approved. Downtown residents will now see a new tax for purposes still in the development stage. Faster than you can clearly enunciate “Shawshank Redemption,” the stage version of the hit film takes you into a chilling world of torturous incarceration. "With this letter, I hereby tender my resignation as Weaverville’s Town Attorney effective July 1, 2024."
