Commissioner Boone asked if Chairman Haire would make a part
• of her MOTION that Iredell County neither intends to receive nor
expend funds under this program. Chairman Haire was agreeable to
this condition.
Commissioner Madison said he had problems with this type of
program.

the pie"should be broughtbackintothis
Commissioner Johnson said he would vote for this request;
however, he didn't want anyone to believe that anytime in the
future he planned to obligate the taxpayers of Iredell County by
getting into the housing business.
Commissioner Boone said as a practical matter he questioned
whether in many cases public housing doesn't do more harm to a
community than good. He mentioned that he didn't have a problem in
trying to have a good relationship with municipal governments
as long it doesn't cost money.
