Polk County's state delega
tion, like that of Western North
Carolina, is generally lacking in
influence in Raleigh, according
to the N.C. Center for Public
Policy Research. Only Jack
Hunt showed that he wields
some power in state affairs.
The center recently released
its ranking of effectiveness

lobbyists and capital reporters,

Sen. Bob Carpenter (R-Ma-

members of the Senate in 1991,

In the House, Jack Hunt
(D-Cleveland) ranked 19th
among the 120 members of the
House. The other two mem

House District, which includes
Polk, did not farejis well. Edith
Lutz (D-Cleveland) was 94th,
only a few places ahead of
freshman legislator William
