Knoxville News reporting "Road to Nowhere Will Likely Dead-End"

It's not every day that you receive some good news, but I'm happy to bring you some today. With the election over and US Representative Charles Taylor swept from Western North Carolina's 11th Congressional District by Health Shuler, the "Road to Nowhere" appears to be DOA. Shuler is a proponent of a $52 Million settlement with Swain County, North Carolina. Taylor had supported construction of a road inside the boundary of Great Smoky Mountains National Park at an estimated cost of $590 Million.

The Knoxville News is quoting Swain County Commission's Chairman Glenn Jones as saying, "knew the road issue was dead when Heath got elected," To view a copy of the Knoxville News article, follow this link.
