Friday Morning at the SBOE

Submitted by Goldie on Sat, 03/01/2008 - 5:43pm.

I spent Friday morning down at the State Board of Elections - the last few hours of the filing period. Until about 10:30, there wasn't much going on except idle chit chat with the very gracious Board of Elections workers. After that, in pretty rapid succession, there were a number of surprises during the morning – Wayne filing/Jim Long not filing, Richard Morgan filing for Superintendent of Public Instruction, etc. I was there because I am working with some judges and I wanted to see what was happening in those races. It didn't make the papers, but there was some pretty wild stuff that went on in the appeals court races late in the morning.

TrueMeckDem on Myers Park Pat

"My opinion of Pat has changed over the years. I used to think he was truly a man of the people but the longer he has been mayor, the less I think of him.

As with most cities, Charlotte has three political parties: Dem, Rep, and Chamber of Commerce. Pat is definitely the puppet of the COC here. What is good for business is good for Charlotte and Pat ... very personable guy, he has gotten a bunch of Dems in these parts to vote for him but I don't trust him."
