Thursday Open Line


Filing is done, we’d like to thank all who have filed to run for public office.  Our list is up to date as far as I know of all candidates filed in Vance County.  Some positions have only one person running, giving them a clear shot, unless there is such a thing as a write in, I’m not sure.  See the full list here:

Next Tuesday, for the first time ever, nearly all public and charter school 11th graders will be required to take the ACT® college entrance exam. The ACT is a curriculum- and standards-based educational and career planning tool that assesses students’ academic readiness for college. In December 2011, the State Board of Education approved the ACT to become a part of North Carolina’s new accountability model for high schools that will be implemented statewide in 2012-13.

Are you happy with who has filed for office?  Disappointed in anyone running, or not running?
