A bill to create districts for electing county commissioners in Buncombe County passed the state house in time to cross over to the senate. Our fair-minded Republican leaders like the idea of drawing the concentration of Democrats into one district downtown. Our fair-minded Democrat leaders don’t. I beg them to remind me to stop being so partisan-minded. Bill sponsor Tim Moffitt (R-Buncombe) argued the measure would help racial minorities get elected. It would also expand the board of overpaid commissioners from five to seven.
