Former Democratic state representative unseats NC Senate incumbent

A Democratic challenger unseated his Republican opponent Tuesday in one of the most competitive state Senate races. James Gailliard, a pastor and former state lawmaker, defeated Lisa Barnes, who was seeking her fourth term in Senate District 11, with all 51 precincts reporting unofficial results. The district encompasses Franklin, Nash and Vance counties. Gailliard posted to social media that he is “deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve.” “It is a true honor to be able to represent our communities in Raleigh, and it is a responsibility I do not take lightly,” he said. “Let’s get to work!” Gailliard, a pastor at Word Tabernacle Church in Rocky Mount who served two terms in the state House, campaigned on reforming criminal justice, increasing access to broadband in rural areas and decreasing unemployment. Barnes, a former Nash County commissioner who served one term in the House, advocated for cutting taxes, increasing access to healthcare and uplifting the agricultural community throughout her campaign. She has worked in agribusiness alongside her husband, Johnny Barnes, who owned one of the country’s largest sweet potato producers. He died last year. Multiple campaign ads have stirred controversy within the race. Lisa Barnes shared a video on social

Nash County is joining Operation Green Light

The Nash County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution Monday supporting Operation Green Light for Veterans, a national initiative that recognizes military veterans and raises awareness of the challenges many face after returning to civilian life. The resolution was presented by Nash County Veterans Services Director Anthony Rogers, who urged the county to join communities across the nation in showing support for veterans and their families. Operation Green Light, an initiative of the National Association of Counties and the National Association of County Veteran Service Officers, encourages residents, businesses and local governments to display green lights in the week leading up to Veterans Day. The display from Nov. 4 through Nov. 11 is a visible symbol of gratitude and support for those who have served in the armed forces. The resolution cites the sacrifices made by military personnel, the stress many service members experience during the transition to civilian life and the continuing role veterans play in their communities through civic organizations, public service and volunteer work. Following the presentation, commissioners offered their appreciation to Rogers and highlighted the ongoing needs of veterans throughout Nash County. Nash County Commissioner Wayne Outlaw thanked Rogers for both his military service and

Historical marker sought in Jamesville

Sometimes, when the wind blows just right, echoing through the woods of Jamesville and out across the Roanoke River, a low, mournful, lonely sound of a “train” can be heard — reminding listeners of what once was. If Charles “Bo” Dickerson has his way, Martin County will soon have a more permanent reminder than the wind in the trees of a railroad bed that once existed here, connecting the Jamesville river to the Pamlico in Washington. Dickerson has set into motion a request for a N.C. Highway Historical Marker to commemorate the Jamesville and Washington (J&W) Railroad and Lumber Company that started here in 1869 and closed in 1897. The track leading to Washington was approximately 22.57 miles long and had one stop off in between. What was once known as Dymond City, a bustling town with a 32-room hotel, eventually died out when the railroad stopped running. The train made one round trip in a day, said Dickerson. “It put Martin County on the map big time,” he said. “Also, Beaufort County and even Washington County because of the lumber and produce and grain they hauled for the farmers.” Dickerson owns land where the Jamesville terminus was located and

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.

Council to consider $1M in traffic signal upgrades, discuss Town Common cafe

The Greenville City Council next week is set to consider spending slightly less than $1 million to upgrade traffic signals as part of a joint effort with the state transportation department. The council at its Thursday meeting is scheduled to discuss work with the N.C. Department of Transportation to replace components of the combined traffic signal system it shares with the city. The components include traffic signal controller units and their housing and the fiber-optic cable system that connects the signals to each other and to the city Traffic Control Center. The components are coming to the end of their usable life, according to the agenda materials for the 6 p.m. meeting at City Hall, 200 W. Fifth St. Two more meetings are set for 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Monday. Other updates include installing closed circuit television equipment at about 18 locations, new detectors for traffic responsive operations and pedestrian countdown displays at locations with existing signals. Also in the works are new controllers and cabinets at about 150 signals, preparation of a new traffic signal plan for all intersections and development of timing plans and installing more flashing yellow left turn signals at applicable intersections.
