A hat trick of accomplishments

Two county commissions and a town council each had individual meetings last week and together the results of those meetings have accomplished a hat trick in the goal department. Now we’re not speaking of a Gordie Howe hat trick — a goal, an assist and a fight in one game — we’re talking about three local governmental bodies achieving major accomplishments in the same week. That’s commendable. Last week, Bertie County, Martin County and the town of Edenton, each took steps worth celebrating. Bertie County cut the ribbon on the Taj Mahal of local animal shelters, Drew Batts held a well-attended community forum in Martin County and the Edenton Town Council came steps closer to a healthy choice for residents craving new flavors at a new local grocery store. Bertie County Manager Juan Vaughan, former Assistant County Manager David Scarborough, Commission Chair Corey Ballance and the entire Bertie Board of Commissioners deserve high praise. The new animal shelter project is completed and the shelter will soon be open for business. The project had been on the drawing boards for over three years. During the time, the commission and Vaughan have come under fire on many occasions for the length of

Smith cruises to re-election in state Senate race

Heavy early voting gave Democratic incumbent state Sen. Kandie Smith a healthy early lead according to unofficial totals released by the N.C. Board of Elections, and she did not relinquish any of it as today's Election Day ballots were counted. With 70 percent of precincts reporting in Pitt County and results from nearly 50 percent of precincts in Edgecombe County, Smith leads with 44,207 votes to just 25,807 for Republican challenger Henry Hostetler giving Smith 63.1 percent of the vote compared to Hostetler's 36.9 percent. "I’m grateful for the confidence of the people of Pitt and Edgecombe counties showed in me. I think they want me to continue to vote for the things that are important for them and to continue to fight for the things that are important to them, Smith said Tuesday night when reached at her legislative office. Smith said constituent services and consistency both played an important role in her re-election. "I don’t there were really one or two issues that drove the vote. I think there was consistency. When they see you’re working and they see your consistency and you’re accessible and that you're willing to try to help people solve problems, I think they

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.
