The N&R print edition reports Rockingham County commissioners voted 4-0 to join the Piedmont Triad Regional Council.
Commissioner Craig Travis abstained, saying the soon-to-be-former Piedmont Triad Council of Governemnts “has provided great service to the county, but he isn’t comfortable with how dues are set.” I have wonder why Travis abstained instead simply casting a ‘no’ vote.
Meanwhile, the N&R editorializes on Guilford County’s pending decision whether or not to join the new council, concluding it’s “reasonable for commissioners to evaluate these programs and their costs, but quitting a regional organization that so many neighbors support would be unwise without a compelling reason.”
