Roanoke Rapids Citizens Group Opposes Senate Bill 242
A Roanoke Rapids letter to lawmakers denies coercion in collecting voter petitions for Senate Bill 242 extending city limits and altering government. Signed by the Merchants Association and local clubs, it argues for a public vote and urges legislators to await full facts before advocacy. It notes manufacturing plants within current limits pay most taxes and invites attendance at a future public hearing.
