Wow. This is ridiculous and definitely nasty. How on earth is it okay in this 
country for a company to take the state to court because the latter gave back a 
supposed GIFT!!?? I'm glad that citizens can't take each other to court for gift 
returns, or I'd be in serious trouble at Christmas-time!

Saddest part is that this 'gift' will most definitely become a road, which 
wouldn't have any affect on the protest petition. But before it becomes a road, 
if the 'gift' is accepted, it becomes state property which would then exclude 
current signatories from being able to sign the protest petition, thereby making 
the protest petition invalid. Hope this makes some sense.


You know, if Durham County had paid for a truly independent survey of Jordan 
Lake (in collaboration with Chatham and Orange Counties, who also contain parts 
of the lake), then it would have saved all of us a lot of money, time, and 
stress. This whole manipulated process has cost Durham County citizens far more 
than the cost for an independent survey of our portion of Jordan Lake...
