Mecklenburg Seeks Appointment For Solicitor
A Charlotte lawyers group plans to ask Gov. Hodges to assign the 11th District Superior Court solicitor's post to Mecklenburg instead of Gaston County. The effort follows Basil Whitener leaving the post after winning a congressional seat. The delegation argues Mecklenburg bears heavier duties due to population, two large police forces, division HQs for the Highway Patrol and FBI, and other factors. Judge Willard I. Gatling and Mecklenburg Bar Association President Joe Grier lead the effort.
