- Page 2A they act as chairman. “Willie has been there and I think he would be a good per- son to serve as chairman.” McIntosh could not be reached for comment, but all in- dications are that he will accept the appointment. Although they haven't dis- cussed it, Hawkins hinted that one of the three Kings Mountain commissioners-elect may be elected vice-chairman. “I really haven't thought "about it,” he said, “but it’s 54 | something ‘we can sit down and work out. I've had a lot of expe- rience as chairman of the School Board and I think I could bring the expertise of being a chair- man to the vice-chair position. Mary and Tommy are knowl- edgeable about what's taking place in the county. “ Hawkins said he would not support veteran commissioner Charlie Harry for vice-chairman because of his position favoring school merger. “Charlie’s a friend, but he and I are on the opposite end of the issues when it comes to merger,” Hawkins said. Bridges and Accor said they haven't entertained the idea of being vice-chairman yet, either. “It hasn't crossed my mind,” Bridges said. “I'm not worried about it. Any of them would be alright with me.” Although the agenda for the December 4 meeting has not been set, the commissioners- elect hinted of some other ac- tions they might propose. One would be a resolution against school merger to be sent to the State Board of Education + SONNET NNN : ll Love, Your Children fl Linda, Phillip Jr., Shirley, 8 Harvey Dean and Rita. County Commissioners in the decision because part of the Kings Mountain School District lies in Gaston County. Another part, he said, should point out the escalating legal expense is not in the best interest of the county and that the county attorney be given the authority to take “whatever means” necessary to stop the expense including, if necessary, dismissing Middlebrooks. “What I would prefer is that Mr. Middlebrooks see that the new Board is against merger, and he would just withdraw as the attorney,” Hawkins said. “That would allow him to take himself out of it, but if it means making a motion that we don’t need him any longer I think that would be appropriate.” The commissioners-elect will be in Asheville the remainder of this week attending a school for new county commissioners sponsored by the NC Association of County Commissioners.
