Ending the Mount Airy Civil War

Ending the Mount Airy Civil War

The mayor’s office and two council seats are up for grabs when Mount Airy’s citizens go to the polls to select new leadership for the town May 3.

The town’s voters will choose between Wendi Peters and Patrick Rockinberg to lead the community for (hopefully) the next four years in the mayor’s office. In 2009, a total of three citizens took turns in the mayor’s office in a year of public bickering and disagreement.

Mount Airy has stayed in the news in recent years with political turmoil, allegations of ethics violations, quarrels over growth and annexations, recreation, and water. It is time for the soap opera to stop.

Of the two candidates for mayor, Mount Airy citizens would be wise to turn over the challenges of the mayor’s office to Councilwoman Wendi Peters.
