The Winston-Salem City Council voted 6-0 to take up a resolution opposing Amendment One at its next meeting, which is the night before the May 8 primary. The council’s only Republican, Robert Clark, abstained from the vote —makes you wonder how he will vote on the resolution.
However, the council also voted 4-3 not to place a $100 million bond referendum on the ballot. Council member Wanda Merschel said she did not believe city taxpayers would vote for an additional tax increase.
Similar handwriting’s on the wall here in G’boro, which is why there’s talk of a ‘no-vote pac’ on the proposed downtown performing arts center.
