As moat of the members are new atpa unfamiliar with the programs and projects in Duplin County;, there should be an explanation fur these new Board members. . And as priorities have changed over the years, there stands a chance that all that is in. now, may not be justified to continue. As for those commissioners leaving office, we have, over the past few years, had differences of opinion. . . We have also agreed on many issues... .But, nevertheless, whether 1 agreed or disagreed with Mr. Willard Hoffler. Emmett Kelly, or Arliss Albert son. we never thought of one another as enemies, because tjie agreeing or dis agreeing. was on Issues, not personalities. . . Though 1 welcome the new commis sioners and look forward to the new experience, at the same time 1 will miss those going out of office. : . We have met many a time...
