Just wanted to check in and mention the results of the Summerville Town Council elections that took place on Tuesday. It was a pretty dismal turnout overall with only 10.8 percent of eligible voters casting a vote. Amazingly, even with the overall low turnout, District 4 set a new record for voters casting a ballot with about 19 percent. On to the results…
The Go Green candidates faired pretty well, although we didn’t run the table. In District 4, Mike Dawson was reelected and in District 6, our challenger Bob Jackson beat out two-term incumbent Chris Sieber. Unfortunately, our choice in District 2, Diane Frankenberger, lost a close contest to controversial incumbent Ricky Waring. The winner was decided by only 69 votes.
The results are good news for those of us who care about accountability and transparency in government as we retained Mike Dawson and gained Bob Jackson. The people have spoken and progress is being made.

We are about to enter into a fight with the Summerville Council over a zoning change request by a Mr. Knight. He wants the land between Walnut Farms and the Bluffs at Ashley River to be rezoned as commercial. He proposes building another storage facility, a carwash, and apartment buildings between our developments.
The land is currently zoned for a single residence per 1 acre. He wants it rezoned as commercial.
This is a green issue.
There is a meeting on Wednesday, August 6th at 4PM in the Town Hall. Is there any way you could rally some troops to help us out.
Aaron Brown is the swing vote, and past practices show that he only does what his constituents ask for. As his constituents to not live near us, we feel doomed.
Help!
