Official Accused Of Political Arm Twisting In I-85 Case
Davidson County Commissioner Tommy Evans faces allegations of political arm twisting as he opposes a federal aid safety project on Temporary I-85 near Thomasville. The dispute centers on closing a median crossover to Cecile's Quarry access, with DOT noting 15 accidents at the crossover since 1971. Evans and his associates seek a quarry access road, while officials say plans progress on schedule. Local figures accuse Evans of using influence with lawmakers and DOT leaders to benefit his family’s quarry interests.

Osborne Optimistic on United Way Drive in High Point
Murphey Osborne, chairman of the Greater High Point United Way, remains hopeful to meet the 1977 goal of $670,000 as $605,103 has been raised.
