Towns Also To Pick New Leaders
|
And voters in all three towns will pick leaders in municipal elections.
All county residents will vote “for” or “against” on two issues: a real property transfer tax of up to .4%; and a quarter cent sales tax. County commissioners can only enact one of the revenue sources if passed by the voters.
Davie’s commissioners have committed the money to paying for school construction or to pay off school construction debt.
Mocksville voters will also elect a mayor and two members on the town board.
Debra M. Stanley is challenging incumbent Mayor Francis W. Slate, and incumbent board member J.C. “Buster” Cleary is being challenged by M.A. “Tony” Williams and former board member, Lee Rollins.
In Cooleemee, incumbent Mayor John Chandler is unchallenged. Four candidates seek two open spots on the town board: incumbents Daphne Beck and Carl Smith and challengers Freddie E. Carter and Tommy Daywalt.
In Bermuda Run, Mayor John Ferguson is unchallenged. Frank D. Sweeten is running unopposed for the District I council seat, John Guglielmi and Charles “Chuck” Whitman seek the District III seat, and Al Barnett is unchallenged for the District IV seat.
Polling places are open from 6:30 a.m.-7:30 p.m ... subscribe to the Davie County Enterprise Record, P.O. Box 99, Mocksville, N.C. 27028.
