Remove Clif Cheek from the Brunswick County Planning Board


Remove Clif Cheek from the Brunswick County Planning Board
The Issue
Clif Cheek's presence on the Brunswick County Planning Board has caused significant concerns among local residents and stakeholders. Many believe that his actions and decisions do not reflect the best interests of the community, and this petition seeks to address these grievances by calling for his removal.
Over recent months, there have been multiple reports and testimonies from community members highlighting instances where Mr. Cheek's decisions seemed misaligned with the county’s strategic growth and development plans. Concerns have surfaced regarding his approach to zoning laws, which some claim have favored personal interests or have been manipulated to benefit a select few, leaving the wider community at a disadvantage.
Transparency and integrity are crucial for the effective functioning of any public board. As taxpayers and residents, we deserve a Planning Board where each member prioritizes the collective good over individual gains. Trust in public institutions is eroded when decisions are perceived to be made unethically, and immediate action is necessary to restore this trust.
Residents also argue that Clif Cheek has shown a lack of engagement with public opinion. Several board meetings and public hearings were reportedly conducted without genuine consideration of the community's voice, leading to decisions that do not reflect the will or needs of the people.
In considering the future development of Brunswick County, it is imperative that we have board members who champion fair and transparent practices, who actively listen to and engage with the community, and who prioritize sustainable and equitable growth.
For these reasons, we urge the authorities to reassess Mr. Cheek’s position on the Planning Board and seek a replacement who will better represent the diverse interests of Brunswick County residents.
Please sign this petition to support the call for a more accountable Brunswick County Planning Board.
