real estate
This election year, Orange County voters will select a register of deeds from 3 candidates: Deborah Brooks, the current register of deeds; Mark Chilton, former mayor of Carrboro; and Sara Stephens, former deputy register of deeds. The register of deeds is the custodian of many of the county’s public records, including those relating to births, deaths, military discharges, marriage, and property transfers.
In lieu of holding a candidate forum for the register of deeds race, we sent the candidates 7 questions and asked them to respond to each question in 200 words or less. The answers we received from them appear below. They have not been edited in any way.
Let me see if I've got this straight: Real estate developers want more say over real estate development?
The council is planning a 12-member committee with two Planning Board
members, one Transportation Board member, one Sustainability Committee
member, one Justice-in-Action Committee member, one business community
representative and five citizens at-large. The petitioners, many of
whom work in real-estate related fields, want to add six more members
to represent: small businesses, downtown businesses, development
professionals, large businesses, UNC-Chapel Hill and UNC Healthcare.
