Below is a summary of the July 23rd, 2024 meeting of the Waxhaw Board of Commissioners.
The meeting began well, with the board voting unanimously to approve an efficiency program for Waxhaw employees. Spearheaded by Commissioner Daunt, this program rewards and recognizes employees who come forward with practical ideas to save the town money and resources.
Unfortunately, things went downhill from there once the discussion about the “Waxhaw Parkway” (the eastern spur only) got going. For some reason there seems to be an inflexible devotion to the current alignment of this project, and hostility towards any alternatives. Commissioner Wesolek began by accusing Mayor Murray of wasting the $20,000 that had been spent on analyzing the various alternatives to the eastern Parkway. The reality is that Mayor Murray simply asked the town staff if they could look into alternatives, and the staff made decisions on spending this discretionary amount.

Next, Commissioner Hall falsely accused Mayor Murray and Commissioner Daunt of “lobbying against the Parkway”.

How sad that we have BOC members who are so quick to attack neighboring boards and their fellow board members.
