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

Groundbreaking Held for 10 Affordable Housing Units in Sterling

At the corner of Calhoun and Jenkins streets, a modest two-story brick building became a legend to generations of high school students in the Sterling Community. The Huddle gained its fame from grilled-cheese sandwiches, cherry cola floats, and a jukebox that played a steady stream of Motown, Stax, and even the raspy howls and banging piano of the internationally famous musician Esquerita, who was better known among his fellow Sterling High alums as Eskew Reeder.

Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center. During an Oct. 5 council meeting, County Administrator Ken Roper said a developer had inquired about Pickens County's "appetite
