Two for two seats on Soil & Water Board

Two people have filed for the two seats open on the Guilford County Soil & Water Board: Richard "Dick" Phillips and Ron Tuck. Unless someone else steps up to the plate, there won't be much of a contest.

Regardless, considering the Alvin Greene debacle in South Carolina and the fact that the victor of this race in 2008 was a candidate named "Kirk Perkins" that never materialized in the flesh, I think we'll be doing some vetting this time around. That said, the two present candidates are most likely people with solid qualifications who are motivated by a desire to render honest public service.

Filing for this race closes next Friday.
