4 Monday, February 18, 2002 N.C. Mayors Establish 2 Budget Task Forces By Creed Wood Staff Writer The N.C. Metropolitan Coalition, a lobbying group for the state’s munici palities, set up two task forces Thursday in an effort to protect municipal budgets from the state’s financial shortfall. North Carolina already is facing a budget deficit of almost S9OO million for the 2001-02 fiscal year. Gov. Mike Easley announced Feb. 5 that he was seizing $209 million from a revenue-sharing program with N.C. municipalities to offset part of the short’- fall - an action that prompted mayors statewide to take action. Durham Mayor Bill Bell and Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines were named co-chairmen of one of the task forces, which will explore alterna tive sources of funding for the state. Carrboro Mayor Pro Tern Alex Zaffron also was named to the task force. Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy, Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker and Greensboro Mayor Keith Holliday are members of a second task force working to create proposals to prevent future cuts. Chapel Hill stands to lose $1.04 mil lion and Carrboro $299,284 in funding because of Easley’s actions. In a meeting with municipal leaders Wednesday, Easley said he would return the money if and when the state’s finances allow. But most mayors say the state should return the money despite state budget problems because local areas have their own budget woes. “We take care of our own financial problems,” Foy said. “The CAMPAIGNS From Page 1 allowed in women’s residence halls, but we scheduled candidate nights for coeds.” Although some University regula tions have relaxed, elections restrictions have grown since Powell’s presidency. Emily Margolis, Board of Elections chairwoman, said the increase in elec tion regulations is aimed at preventing candidates from infringing on students’ rights. “The goal now is to continue to protect people’s privacy,” she said.

Foy said the N.C. Metropolitan Coalition also wants to give local govern ments more control over their finances. He added that it might be difficult to persuade state legislators to delegate con trol because they would have to give up part of their authority over taxation. Carrboro Mayor Mike Nelson also said he disagreed with Easley’s actions. Nelson said the N.C. mayors hope to get back sll4 million of the $209 mil lion. Easley has already impounded $95 million but is withholding the remainder. The sll4 million comes mainly from taxes that telephone, power and gas util ities pay for using public rights of way. Nelson said the franchise tax systems were set up by municipalities, so local governments should receive the benefits. Though members of the coalition were angered by the governor’s sudden move ment, Foy said Easley has expressed his willingness to examine alternative sources of funding. “We’ll have to wait and see if he takes any actions,” Foy said. But Nelson said he does not think all the blame for the state’s financial situation should be directed at Easley. “He is in a very awful predicament,” he said. “He’s inherited a mess and has to clean it up.” The State 8 National Editor can be reached at stntdesk@unc.edu. been regulated by student government, they have never lacked structure. Prior to 1970, two campus parties - the University Party and the Student Party - determined slates of candidates and provided campaigning support. “The party organization’s main function was to promote its candidate,” said John Sanders, 1950-51 student body president. “In addition to sup porters, they provided most of the manpower a candidate could gather.” Conner said the role of campaign workers has focused less on pounding the pavement with recent changes. “With current technology, you have a different method of people manage ISSUES From Page 1 Department of Public Safety, said the administration already conducts walks to examine campus safety issues.

Ultimately, appealing to a variety of students with their platforms is a con stant goal of student body president candidates, Conner said. “Candidates try to hit buttons with as many voters as possible,” Conner said. “Candidates that do well have ... 25 bullet points (on their platforms) because they’re more likely to attract a variety of people.” The Features Editor can be reached at features@unc.edu. ment,” he said. “You still need lots of people, but they can help from their dorm or apartment.” Though campaigning strategies have been shaped by changes in technology and election procedures, former candi dates agree that personal contact is still key to winning elections. “There is no substitute for individual person-to-person contact,” Conner said. “Whether it’s Instant Messaging someone a link to Student Central or pointing your hand to a polling site, you can’t beat human interaction.” The Features Editor can be reached at features@unc.edu.

Shelton said the establishment of a tuition guarantee is desirable but difficult could be carried out in an ultimately positive way, and she said Akintola and Mclntosh’s recent campaign push cast a negative light on Rouhanifard and Albright’s slogan. But Mclntosh, who designed the fliers, said the purpose of the fliers was more last-minute publicity before Tuesday’s runoff election than political mudslinging. “1 did not have the intention for a mali cious harming of these guys,” Mclntosh said. “I felt I needed to inform everyone who was voting what distinguishes us.” Kudzu I ' 1£ "NoPAIN...
