		<description><![CDATA[The town-owned cable system reported its highest revenues ever, along with lower expenses, for the most recent quarter. New customers joined in all three businesses - cable TV, internet access and telephone. Meanwhile, N.C. officials remain wary about its long-term financial health, but an annual warning letter this year was shorter, with fewer specific concerns.

		<description><![CDATA[Former mayoral candidate Vince Winegardner wants the town to shift the costs of its subsidy to the money-losing MI-Connection cable system. Instead of including the cost in property taxes, which vary with property values, he proposes all residents pay a separate flat fee - "a MI-Connection penalty assessment," he calls it. This flat assessment would be "a fair solution for all," he says.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chief executive David Auger says there's a paradox in all the numbers coming out this week about the MI-Connection Communications System. The company owned by Davidson and Mooresville is in an "unprecedented" growth spurt - adding customers and expanding revenues. But it won't make its budget this year, and now needs another $1.1 million from the towns by June 30 to meet a shortfall. On Thursday, he offered an explanation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The town-owned cable system plans to re-state its budget for the fiscal year ending June 30 to account for lower-than-expected income that company officials blamed on delays in the takeover of key business functions from an outside contractor. The shortfall means the system will have to ask its owners, the towns of Davidson and Mooresville, for an additional $1.1 million to balance its budget this fiscal year.  Also, a public hearing is scheduled Thursday on 2013 budget. ]]></description>
