Guilford commissioners: No ‘nuclear option,’ but…..

U.S. District Court Judge William Osteen opts out of what the Rhino described as the ‘nuclear option.’

Instead of all nine Guilford County Commissioners going up for election this year, commissioners from Districts 4, 5, 6 and 8 will be on the ballot. The election for District 7 will be delayed until 2014, and there was no ruling on an at-large election.

According to the N&R, Osteen “stressed that his ruling Thursday is a temporary solution” to Guilford’s redistricting problem.
