Jerry McCarter’s legacy: Blue Springs Mudbath

County Attorney Jerrry McCarter recently blocked a planned variance which would have allowed the first quarter mile of Blue Springs Way to become a County Road. This section sorely needs a hard surface. The January rain, snow and traffic created the worst foot-deep muddy ruts in memory. This is a messy reminder to renters and owners of the seventeen homes accessed by this road (and the ninety-five people who signed last summers petition) of how the County Attorney sacrificed their interests for his convenience. He is apparently defending a lawsuit about the development of Cove Mountain. Does he lack the legal skill and creativity to distinguish between the needs of mud-splattered homeowners and well-heeled developers of Cove Mountain?
