And your current mayor, Randolph Voller, is the No. 1!<br \/>\nVoller is a stand-up mayor who has focused on Pittsboro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s needs. During three terms as mayor, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s become clear that his eye is on what is practical and what is needed now; he has not been involved with the rhetoric of inaction that is clearly the platform of his opponent. Nor is he one of a large number of N.C. politicians who have been paid off by the state\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s big money man, Art Pope!<br \/>\nOn the contrary, Voller worked hard to: improve the water and sewer operations in Pittsboro; fight for increases in urban green space and recreational areas; focus on a resurgence of downtown economic development; push for \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and receive \u00e2\u20ac\u201c some $2.6 million in federal stimulus to upgrade Pittsboro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s water and sewer operations; and make certain, within his authority as mayor, to assure citizens of a transparent and democratically open government.<br \/>\nBut more than that, he has shown himself to be a strong player in both the county and the state when there are issues that involve the present and future of Pittsboro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s status. And it is this long-term vision that has made him well known among so many people who do not live in Pittsboro but understand that as Pittsboro goes, so goes Chatham County \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and beyond!<br \/>\nThere is more to underline the positive character of this dynamic mayor, but we know that Pittsboro\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s citizens are of one mind: Vote for Randoph Voller for mayor on Nov. 8!<\/p>\n<p>Bill Sommers<br \/>\n<em>Pittsboro<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have an important date with your future when you go to the polls on Nov. 8 to elect your mayor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opinion"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21565"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21570,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21565\/revisions\/21570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
