How do you feel about Mount Pleasant Town Council looking into regulating cell phone usage while driving?
Yes, talking and texting while driving is dangerous and should be outlawed.

Not sure, because while it is dangerous, it's not a top concern of mine.
 

Do you think the Town of Mount Pleasant should research the feasibilty of constructing and maintaining a mooring field.
No, this would put a strain on town resources.
 
Yes, this could be another source of economic revenue, promoting tourism and relocation.
 
Possibly, but it should be a shared endeavor between local, county and state governing officials.
