Collin Beck Gene Merritt, a long time Wilming ton native is running as a Democratic candidate for the state senate position in District 7, which includes the university campus. The primaries, originally set for May 7, are now under court inspection regarding the legality of the break up of the county, and that date has been pushed back indefinitely. Q:You are running for District 7. Where does that include? A: “It’s the top part of New Hanover County, (and) includes a great deal of Pender County, Onslow County and up to Jacksonville. The new district is a ‘de mographic game that haS to be played.’ The republicans are currently suing the state on the grounds that you can’t split up a county. However, this new district was approved.” italization. I am an urban develop ment specialist. I am also a commercial real estate appraiser." Q: Where do you stand on the r run for another Q: Have you ev elected position? A; “I never have. I’ve been involved greatly in politics for the last 25 to 30 years. And with other people’s cam paigns. But this is my first time run ning.” Q: What do you do for a living now? A: “I’m involved with neighborhood UNCW tuition increase? A; “I’m not happy with it... educa tion should be our number one priority. The problem is that the state govern ment has spent too much money on other programs. I would like to see North Carolina go back to the way it was a few years ago when the university concept (tried) to provide as close to free as it could (for an) education to all in-state students. Now that is ideal. (NC) is getting away from the state con stitution, which calls for a free educa tion for the citizens of this state. We are not responsible for (out-of-state stu dents). My position is education should gel cut last. The tuition increases are in appropriate, wrong and bad.” Q: What would you do to make up for the deficit created by minimizing those increases? A: “I support a state-wide lottery, (which) would be one way to make up some of that. Another way is to cut op erating costs in other (state) depart ments.” Q: Which state departments? A: “All of them. Not across the board, but selective cuts. 1 just feel there is quite a bit of fat. I think we need to get back to our primary obligations. There’s no magic formula. There’s a lot of blame to go everywhere (as far as spending goes.) The university and the state need to take a long hard look at (where they are spending their money.)” Q; What does it take ti lut to vote? get people A: “I guess it takes a disaster to get people interested. 1 want all people to vote— especially college students. I don’t want to hear you complain unless you vote.” Want something to add to your resume? Join The Seahawk staff and contribute to campus, while building your future.
