Abstract:
People are wondering if the “new” Durham is dead after conservative candidates swept the recent Durham primary. This is a setback for liberals who have held a majority on the City Council for the last 12 years. The reasons behind this are that the liberal coalition has failed to live up to its campaign promises. They also have failed to govern together, and the power of bureaucracy and private business interests are threatening to replace the coalition with conservative candidates.

Raleigh is working hard to develop a plan during this current water crisis. The city council ignored recommendations for a tiered-rate system advised by a task force after droughts in 2002 and 2005. Now, city council members are promising to look at serious conservation policies including a tiered-rate system. The problems with that system and possible solutions to the problem in Raleigh are detailed.

Abstract:
Raliegh’s City Council is debating whether or not to push for a new public safety center. The center would house administrative offices for the police, fire, telecommunications, and emergency management departments. The building would require an increase in property taxes to complete. Councilors worry about the tax increase during a recession, but some feel the building is necessary and now is the best time to complete it.

Abstract:
Last year, six new members under the age of forty were appointed to the Charlotte City Council. Under an older but also first-term mayor, Vi Lyles, the diverse council is far less patient, less devoted to process, more innovative, more willing to look afresh at the way the city government operates, and unafraid to challenge the old guard. The Council is also demonstrating some of their millennial generation’s defining characteristics which embrace technology and an entrepreneurial approach.
