Spartanburg County yesterday
sent the U.S. Justice Department
a request to quickly approve its
plan for six. single-member
election district for the County
Council.
The plan was drawn in
response to an NAACP request.
Currently, all council members
run at large.
The county proposal would
continue to have the council
chairman run at large, but this is
opposed by the NAACP. The June
12 County Council primary may
be delayed while the U S Justice
Department reviews the plan

Nash Offers
Honesty, Talent
Joan Nash would like to see
Polk County continue its trend
toward better government
"If honest, capable people
disdain political contests, then
local government is abandoned to
those who would serve their own
interests." Nash said.
Nash, one of four Republican
candidates seeking the party's
nomination for county
commissioner in the May 8
primary, said what is needed is
objectivity and a close eye on
performance standards
Nash cited the hiring of a pro
fessional county manager, com
puterizing of election records,
and increasing the board size
from three members to five as
"very good things" for Polk
County.
She said she believes the
county's main challenges are to
bring the landfill into compliance
with environmental operation
standards, to establish an
emergency 911 dialing system
and to handle long-range
planning
Following are some of Nash's
comments on:
• Long-range planning: “Polk
County should establish long
range planning for economic
development, the environment,
zoning. beautification,
recreation, education and
employment. If we want to see
Polk remain a low-density place
where the bread winner can earn
a living, parents can expect a

McCormack Wants
To Represent Youth
Tim McCormack would like to
be a voice for the younger people
of Polk County.
McCormack. 31, is one of four
candidates vying for three
Republican Board of Com
missioners nominations in the
May 8 primary. The Republican
winners will face their
Democratic opponents in
November.
The history of the Polk County
Board of Commissioners has
been that people have typically
been selected during the retired
stage of their life. McCormack
said.
"There is a wealth of
information there." he said “I
am not knocking that. But
sometimes you have to have
differing views to accomplish the
right goals. It is good to have a
mix of backgrounds In the
spectrum you bring together a
good whole."
McCormack lives on McEntire
Road in Green Creek with his
wife, the former Sheila Render
son of Green Creek, and their
three children. Danielle. 8. a
third grader at Green Creek
Elementary. Jennifer. 4. and
Shanna. 16 months
"I feel like the things we
accomplish on the county
commission are things not only 1
have to live with but also my
children and grandchildren." he
said. "Younger people should get
involved in the political process
