Our Wall Begins at the Ballot Box
Early voting is underway, and Election Day is March 3rd. For Waxhaw residents, this Union County primary may be one of the most consequential elections we participate in — not because it will draw national headlines, but because turnout will be low.

Diversity Without Integrity is Chaos
Principles Over Empty “Diversity” True leadership isn’t about chasing “diversity” for its own sake, but about championing excellence in decision-making. A mix of good and bad ideas may technically be diverse, but it is not progress. Waxhaw deserves leaders who stand for integrity, clarity, and accountability. Corruption is never a matter for compromise—leaders must have…

Dark Money in Waxhaw Politics

This type of non-profit is under no legal obligation to disclose the identity of its donors. There’s no way to “follow the money” back to any particular individual – especially…

Waxhaw Wall 101
Why do we call ourselves a “Wall”? Not to keep people out or close ourselves off, but to separate the different motivations that tend to drive public and private institutions. Private institutions are profit-motivated, and public (government) institutions should be service-motivated. The profit motive usefully drives people to work hard, but our public institutions need…
Town Hall Debacle
When 150+ people showed up at the Waxhaw Town Hall Forum meeting to talk about the Adelina development, Mayor Pappas had the gall to tell them they had come to the wrong meeting, and that Adelina would not be discussed. This is typical of the disrespect that we the people get from the current administration.Make…

This paves the way for higher-density development and higher population. The increased population boosts town revenues, and elected officials tend to find a way to spend it…
Waxhaw Shenanigans
The shenanigans started as soon as The Waxhaw Wall filed as candidates. Several domains were immediately purchased by someone who redirected them to the website of the Union County Democratic Party (Union County, New Jersey!). Thankfully, they neglected to grab thewaxhawwall.com, which we are now using for our main website.
