Abstract:

The process of electing North Carolina’s judges is examined. The history of judicial elections in the state is explored. North Carolina does not hold partisan elections for judges. Many think the system should change as most citizens are uninformed about the candidates. Several changes are proposed, but most believe politicians have no will to change the current system despite its problems.

Abstract:

The issues surrounding the re-zoning of a development in the Lake Falls watershed is explored. Ten reasons why the zoning is bad for the Raleigh area, the local water supply, the environment, and private citizens are stated. The main reason the zoning is drawing the anger from many is due to the pollution future developments may cause and the opening for shopping centers to be built in the watershed area under the new regulations. Wake County’s Board of Commissioners were the group who approved the rezoning.
