Linville running for commissioner

Longtime Forsyth County Commissioner Richard Linville is running for re-election in District B, and he wants your vote and your support. “Most of the ideas I have for the future are the same as in the past. You have a few things that you have to provide funding for. One of the important things is the operation of the health department. That includes EMS services and ambulance services. You have to provide for law enforcement and the fire department. Outside the city it is provided by volunteer fire departments and I think everyone one of them has full-time staff. All of those systems are going well in my opinion. Of course, you have the public schools and Forsyth Tech. The educational facilities we have are important. I will still look at the basic things that are needed. I am not one to add new things to make government bigger, unless it increases efficiency,” Linville said.

Walters running for county commissioner

Winston-Salem’s Ralf Walters, a Republican, is one of ten candidates running for one of three Forsyth County Commissioners District B seats and he wants your vote and support. “I am running for Forsyth County commissioner because it’s time for fresh ideas and new leadership. Serving on the County Board shouldn’t be a job for life. Two incumbents have served for decades. One was first elected in 1980, and the other 1998. Forsyth County’s annual budget is $569 million. If it were a private corporation, it would hire the best. After attending several County Board meetings and witnessing their difficulties in understanding the proceedings or articulating the few questions they seldom ask before making important and costly decisions, I felt a responsibility, if not a call to duty, to run for this important office,” said Walters

Dog adoption event

On January 21, Gypsy Road Brewing Company is hosting an adoption event with the Haley Graves Foundation. The event is from 1pm to 4pm.
The Haley Graves Foundation will bring their adoptable pups so they can meet their potential owners. The foundation is a foster-based rescue, which means they don’t have the facilities like a typical shelter. Foster-based rescues have a group of fosters that volunteer to foster dogs. These adoption events give people an opportunity to meet and connect with the dogs. At the event, people can come and get to know the dogs. They will also have a chance to talk to the volunteers at the Haley Graves Foundation and ask questions about adoption and fostering. For more, see the Thursday, January 11, 2024 edition.
