Paul: Accuracy is our highest goal. I agree the wording of the sentence leaves something to be desired. Your second point isn't really something to be corrected.

The current proposal gives ALL voters in the city a vote, not just the people being forced to be annexed, FIRST correction.

Second correction is the hoops and hurdles you have to jump around are so extensive it makes the possibility of a vote VERY unlikely.

bniolet, on your quick hits you may want to be a little more accurate.

* The SBI says that 11 witnesses watched guards at a Greene County prison beat a shackled and helpless inmate. Three guards have been charged with felony assault.

* A bill meant to reform annexation now includes a provision that would allow a referendum under certain conditions. The current proposal leaves all sides of the contentious debate unhappy.

* Officials are keeping quiet, but the signs are pointing to the Catawba County town of Maiden as the site of Apple's new $1 billion data center.

Correction: Post now includes a better description of what the annexation changes would do.
