Subject: Thank you to the star people on Pittsboro-Goldston Road!

Just a note to say “thanks!” to the folks on Pittsboro-Goldston Road (1776) who have the big lighted star on their barn and let it shine every evening when I’m driving home from work, I look for the star, and it always makes me smile when I see it.

Funny how such a small thing can be so nice. Sometimes it’s a comforting sign of peace after what was a really ragged day.

Subject: Fw: Civility won in Pittsboro Tuesday

Congratulations to all of the winners as well as to all the candidates and voters in Pittsboro. They were all winners because the candidates themselves all ran positive issue-oriented campaigns.

I attended the excellent candidates’ forum co-hosted by the League of Women Voters and the Pittsboro Merchants Association. I read the candidates’ literature and talked to several in depth about the issues both before and after the election. One of the things that struck me about this campaign was that every candidate pretty much had the same platform: downtown revitalization, managing growth to preserve small town character, promoting small business, investing in water, sewer and recreation for economic development, open government, inter-governmental cooperation.

From: Anne Flannery
Subject: Political Question

I have always wanted to know the answer to this: Why is it that candidates running for office do NOT show their party affiliation on their posters? Is it that they are not PROUD to be a member of that party? Is there a LAW against it? It would be an additional tool for some people to make their voting decisions, especially people who are new

residents to the area. Also, the link to the election results that were posted on the Chatlist, show WHO won but not their party affiliation. I wonder why??? Anne
