“The View” applauses Koopman’s grassroot effort, but the selfish fell for hotdog machines once and don’t plan on it again. There are multiple citations of Taliaferro’s pledges to help Kane and we have visual evidence of Kane’s willingness, along with every other developer, to help her. We can only imagine the massive reaction of JT’s campaign on Friday with PPP’s announcements of small local phone polls showing Koopman and Taliaferro tied with a large margin of error.
Public Policy Poll is showing some extremely close numbers as we go into next weeks election. Their sample sizes are very small and they are predicting up to a 6%+/- margin of error. The break down is as follows:
1st At-Large Choice
Anderson: 18%
|
2nd At-Large Choice
Anderson: 13%
|
District A
Craven: 46%
|
District B
Koopman: 40%

From Mary Ann Baldwin’s website:
“It’s important to have someone on Council who supports growth, but also understands that we have to guide growth, preserve the character of our neighborhoods and conserve our natural resources.”
Just a reminder for anyone that missed the last day to register to vote: you can register to vote at a One-Stop Site during the One-Stop Absentee Voting period up to 3 days before the election. The North Carolina State Board of Elections has guidelines available on registering and voting at a One-Stop Absentee Site. Below are the hours and locations to vote early. More...
With five days until the election, information is flowing and the candidates are pushing their campaigns hard. The last Public Policy Poll was showing the numbers close but there are other sets of numbers that the public is most interested in. The tension is around growth and the candidates that are most funded by big real estate have drawn the most scrutiny.
Well being the concerned citizens we are, New Raleigh has been down at the campaign finance Offices also. You see, that’s the funny thing about local elections. The Campaign finance office just has big notebooks of photocopies of finance records. They either don’t have or refuse to share digital databases of the Wake County Campaign Finance Reports, to find out who has received what, you have to go down and check for yourself.
