Johnson wins race for NC House 113 after taxes fueled contest

HENDERSON COUNTY - A powerful legislative insider faced a former presidential pilot who wanted to shake up Raleigh. Republican state Rep. Jake Johnson and Democrat John Morgan competed for North Carolina House District 113, covering Polk County and portions of Henderson, McDowell and Rutherford counties, in a contest centered on affordability, education and government accountability. Johnson, a Saluda native, won election to the Polk County Board of Commissioners in 2016 before being appointed to the General Assembly in 2019. He entered the contest as House deputy majority whip, with leadership roles overseeing state government and information technology. Morgan, a retired Air Force pilot, flew reconnaissance missions during the Vietnam War and later aircraft carrying Presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. He also served as a Saluda city commissioner. The candidates clashed over a proposed constitutional amendment requiring the legislature to limit local property tax increases . Johnson supported the measure, citing excessive local spending. Morgan opposed it, arguing Republican lawmakers were undermining local control. On affordability, Johnson emphasized increasing electricity generation and investing in water and sewer infrastructure to encourage housing construction. Morgan advocated targeted tax relief, stronger utility oversight and programs connecting renters with affordable housing. Education produced

West Jefferson considers zoning change for short-term rental

WEST JEFFERSON — Town planning board members recommended reclassifying property at the corner of Hice Avenue and Hamilton Street from a conditional use district to a community shopping district on Nov. 3. Town officials said that Jerrita Roark plans to develop the property into an Airbnb short-term rental. Her proposal envisions a two-story building with a residence above a lower-unit business. Town Clerk Rebecca Eldreth said the affected property is within a former provision for the Jefferson Station condominium development. She also said that town officials are trying to “cycle out” the conditional district classification. West Jefferson aldermen will hold a public hearing about the planning board’s recommendation before its Dec. 7 monthly meeting. In other town business, aldermen appointed former volunteer firefighter Matt Lambert as West Jefferson Fire Department’s new assistant chief on Nov. 2. “He’s doing a great job,” Mayor Rusty Barr said. “They (the fire department) are doing a great job for the town; we maintained our recent fire rating at 5S. That should keep insurance rates lower within a five-minute response time of the department.” Barr said the West Jefferson fire district also has many water points, streams, and ponds for quickly extinguishing fires near property.
