Endorsements

PA PAC

Durham People's Alliance aka PA PAC (web site, endorsements) supports:

  • All bonds, with the following caveat: "We are concerned about the city's increasingly routine procedure of using bonds to fund ordinary maintenance, and using the budgetary process to pay for seemingly special projects, but until this situation gets rectified and there are other mechanisms in place to generate revenues, we support these bond issues. Fortunately, the stellar fiscal ratings of our city and county governments means that this indebtedness can be assumed with a minimum impact on our taxes."
  • Bill Bell over Thomas Stith
