Randolph Board May Keep Chairman Despite Speculation
After days of talk Frank Auman appears set to remain Randolph County Board of Commissioners chairman when the board reorganizes on December 6. Auman wants someone else to lead but will stay on for at least the coming year due to business pressures in the Southern Pines Pinehurst area. Vice Chairman Logan White considered regaining the post but may not pursue it. Other members including W. D. Bowman and Richard Pugh show limited chances. Democrat Matilda Phillips, soon to be sworn in, may not be ready to chair.
