Pivotal Henderson County race sparks War Over Wingate ties
In a heated Henderson County commissioner forum, Larry Young and challenger Bill Lapsley clashed over Wingate University's plan to place a pharmacy school at Pardee Hospital. Lapsley accused Young of threats to fire board members and sell the hospital. Young denied the charges, citing past cooperation and a 50 50 joint venture plan. Both candidates defended their roles amid blame over who influenced Wingate’s local move and Pardee’s future.
