Excellent. Sounds like capitalism at its finest to me. Don't know if there is a BB&T branch around here (Dallas). I'll have to look into it.

Thats great to see corporate America stand behind what is right. It would be nice if more lending institutions took this stand to stamp out this egregious example of liberal judicial activism. I bank at BB & T i think ill go hug the President today!!

Most people get over Ayn Rand and her Objectivism by the beginning of their Junior year.

And I'm now thinking of switching. There's a branch not far from me. But I will be nice and tell my current bank why, and give them a chance to catch-up before I leave.

No branches in New Jersey YET. I know someone in BB&T Mergers & Acquisitions, and anything is possible with this bank.

From article: The average tax-paying schmo has to pay for general government services for the free-riding new development.

Bingo. And dittos on Easley's Sr Financial guy's "thoughts" on "incentives" -- the local taxpayer is WHO pays the largest price.

Hats off to BB&T!

It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.

BB&T deserves our business. Also, they are smart enough to know what could happen to their assets if this practice continues apace. Right now, these townships are only more civilized than Mugabe, because no one has fought these confiscations with actual weapons.
