Abstract:
The Chatham County Commissioners have voted to allow the Western Wake Partners (WWP) to build an 8.1-mile underground pipeline though the county. In exchange, WWP offered $500,000 for a youth center, agreed to support legislation preventing the company from involuntarily annexing properties in Chatham County, and free pipeline use for residents in the future. Not all were happy with the deal as Democrats were excluded from the process and many felt a better deal could have been made.

The integrity of the recent Pittsboro town races and Chatham County’s land-transfer tax referendum are being debated. Campaign and ballot violations have been alleged by several in Chatham County and the election results protested. Political observers say that this has become typical of Chatham County, and a Superior Court judge ruled that the Chatham County Board of Elections broke the law last year. The issues at the ballot could affect the outcomes of at least one race and the status of the referendum.
