The County's Where The Action Is
-jeg Bethea’s title m
^county government is
55istant to the Mana-
,, (,ut when we tned
jijk of a counterpart to
job within the city
.mment, he told us it
sn’t all that simple. It
,ns that comparing his
,„,y position to A1
,tv's post of deputy city
sort of like
nparing an army lieu-
,ant to a navy
itenant.
iethea's special con-
js within the county
,enifflent are: public
ety, schools, and the
■ary system.
I’m always shocked by
lack of black participa
tion in county govern
ment,” he commented.
“Most of the services
affecting black people are
performed by the county
gpvemment.”
He is puzzled that peo
ple turn up for aldermen’s
meetings, but hardly ever
dtend the county _com-
nissioners’ meetings.
"Oh, they’ll turn up if
an issue like East Winston
Library or Reynolds
Health Center is on the
agenda,” h» said, “but it
would be better if they
participated all along in
stead of ifist showing up
for the vote. They would
have more input that
way.”
He also recommended
that black people join
STOP (the organization to
stabilize taxes on
property.)
“I don’t know of anyone
who is against keeping
down property taxes,”
said Bethea. “And if
blacks were ih the organi
zation they could make
their concerns known.”
Greg Bethed is origi
nally from Hamlet, North
Carolina. He went to
North Carolina Central
University and majored in
history and political
science.
“And you want to know
how I got into county
government, right?” he
smiled.
We conceded that his
combination of majors did
conjure visions of a future
lawyer or another Andrew
Ypung...
'“I thought about going
toTaw school,” he replied.
“But I’ve always felt it
was better to have more
options than not enough,
so I enrolled in a public
administration program at
Central.”
An outstanding profes
sor made the subject chal
lenging and interesting.
so in addition to-putting in
law school applications,
Bethea applied to some
graduate schools in public
administration.
He chose the school at
UNC-Chapel Hill because
he felt it offered him the
best program. Bethea is
presently finishing up his
Master’s thesis on “The
Use of Volunteers in
County Government. ’ ’
We asked Greg Bethea
what he does in his spare
time.
“I’m a
replied.
sleeperl” he
It turns out there isn’t
much spare time in his
position. Besides the
regular work day, there
are all those county-
related meetings to
attend.
Since he began with the
county as a budget ana
lyst, we asked what he
would do if the county
wer^ given a three million
dollar grant.
After thinking a bit, he
said: “The county already
has a pretty comprehen
sive set of programs. 1
don’t think you would
create anything complete
ly new - just add to and
improve on what’s already
there.”
