Young Republicans Attempt to Bypass Toll Road

March 19, 2005 -- The Union County Young Republicans are one of many groups who have publicly questioned the reasoning behind the support of a toll road versus a state funded bypass. They requested that officials at the NCDOT and the North Carolina General Assembly explain why Union county residents should pay twice for much needed roads in the fastest growing county in the state. The first step for this group is to give a voice to the thousands of citizens in Union county who support the state funded bypass.



"The Young Republicans have posted an online petition on the club's website", stated club chair Nick Polyzos. " This petition will be available to everyone in the county, whether they are Democrats or Republicans."



The Young Republicans will also be at shopping centers and knocking on neighborhoods across Union County, collecting the necessary signatures to oppose a toll road being proposed by the North Carolina Department of Transportation and certain members of the General Assembly.



"In the truest spirit of the type of dissent that founded our country, we believe that this push toward a toll is an example of 'taxation without (adequate) representation'. If people want to take action, this is their chance. They can have their family, friends, neighbors and anyone else in Union County sign the form, and show that they care about how their tax money is spent."



In a letter from former State Senator Fern Shubert to the club, she explained the numbers on how Union was getting "robbed". Supporting documentation and the letter is also on the club website



When asked about alternative methods of promoting the bypass as a state funded road, Polyzos remarked, "We have several strategies under consideration -- time will tell."



Interested residents can sign the online and also access the facts about the road money at www.ucyr.com.
