The Smoky Mountain News reports people are being creeped by having too many police cars on the streets.
“Here is the feedback we hear: we don’t want to come to Maggie Valley because all the law does is sit around and wait on us,” said Nathan Hughes, [a local business] owner.
“They’ll be texting each other, “Don’t go to Maggie. Don’t go to Maggie,’” [Alderman Mike] Matthews said.
Mayor Ron DeSimone suggested using some unmarked cars.
