County approves census based redistricting plan change
Wilson County commissioners adopt a new four precinct map for DOJ review with voting shifts to take effect Jan 1 under a court order. The board approves an 8.53 million budget including a 3.5 percent raise for staff and road funds of about 2.0 million while property tax stays at 46.97 cents. The group notes precincts 1 2 3 4 miles and budgets per precinct, as residents raise questions about land along the abandoned railroad right of way and a Rails to Trails plan.
