Commissioners Vote
To Send People
To New York
(If Legal)
The County Commissioners
met with the Board of Elections
Friday, 24 July 1981, to discuss
the possibility of sending persons
to the school in Jamestown, N. Y.
to learn how to prepare the voting
machines. All members of both
board were present except
Commissioner Butler who had a
previous commitment.
Commission Sauve outlined the
action taken beginning on 13 May
when plans were first discussed
with Donna Butler.
Commissioner Sauve moved that
the budget be amended to allot
52400 to send 2 Democrats and 2
Republicans to the school. After
considerable discussion, the
motion was seconded and passed.
Among the discussions were
the following points made by the
members of the Election Board:
Chairman Roy Watson felt that
the present two persons are good
and there are schools in N. C.
Why take all that money to send
anyone to N. Y. Annie Bell
Gilbert said that it may not be
advisable to spend the money at
this time. Watson pointed out
there is no urgency. Watson also
said he does not know where the
schools in N. C. are but he could
find out. Gilbert said she thinks it
would be feasible to get help from
a nearby county if an emergency
came up.
