News Around Town: Last night was the final candidate forum of the 2019 election season, held at Plantation Estates. There was a bit of a hubbub as the forum was closed to media and the public just hours before it began. WSOC News aired a story about Candidate Barbara Dement, who works for Plantation Estates. She made a short statement regarding two years worth of missing campaign finance reports. Several candidates spoke out about the lack of forum access for Matthews voters.
Early voting continues at the Matthews Library. To learn more about the candidates running, visit the Meck BOE for links to their websites.
