I read the Letter to the Editor from last week and I believe the Town of Farragut should rescind the Letter of Intent to purchase the land off McFee Road because it is a bad purchase, because the residents had no workshop, and because … two officials … were not present for the vote. I would much rather see town money spent for new lefthand turn-lanes at Campbell Station Road and Kingston Pike.

I am upset Town officials said they could not afford the $1.55 million dollars for the turn lanes and then later approved a $5.5 million dollar land purchase, which is a want and not a need. Traffic safety should come first.
