Open government urged as Brightwater spending questioned
Hendersonville readers are urged to support transparency after the City Council used a closed session to discuss the 1.4 million Brightwater loan. The council later moved 249082 from utility reserves, lowering Brightwater bills from 25.38 to 16.77 monthly on average, drawing debate over process and financing. Mayoral candidate Steve Franks questions the closed meeting. City attorney cites potential claim as exemption. The piece advocates full public airing of Brightwater terms to reassure residents.
