Macon’s Ron Haven is making a difference

To the Editor:

Macon County Commissioner Ron Haven is a man of character, courage and conviction. He is knowledgeable of and responsive to the beliefs, feelings and opinions of the people he represents.

He is keen on liberty, individual rights and the individual’s property rights and attempts to safeguard those rights for his constituents. Deception and manipulation are foreign to him.

He is to be admired for encouraging the board of commissioners to address the changes he has proposed for the planning board, regardless of the outcome.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.

The Smoky Mountain News is a wholly private corporation. Reader contributions support the journalistic mission of SMN to remain independent. Your support of SMN does not constitute a charitable donation. If you have a question about contributing to SMN, please contact us.
