Graham and Virginia towns set for Tuesday municipal vote
Graham and neighboring Virginia towns will hold a municipal election Tuesday with a full ticket from mayor to eight council seats. Eight east of Bluestone river and six west of it vie for council, but observers expect cross‑section voting and fair results despite lingering electioneering. The school house issue is left to voters and campaigning remains free of bitterness.
