the commission voted to remove coke machines from county property to send a message. coca-cola doesn't own those vending machines. a completely separate independent bottling company in north carolina does. this week, that company told county commissioners the ban would impact their business and the livelihood of the 37 employees who live locally. they said they were asking, quote, respectfully for the county to reconsider the ban. one resident put it more bluntly saying, if you sit on the board of commissioners and you would refuse any company to bring economic development to our county, you are a moron. the county then voted to rescind the ban. to rescind the ban.
