Dear NC Clerk,
We eagerly await the information requested and have received none but an extension that included factual inaccuracies on the timing of this request demonstrating a lack of attention regarding the seriousness required in this process in gathering the requested information while our community continues to suffer under blaring horns.
Yours peacefully,
PINC
