Alamance County commissioners agree local schools have serious needs, but are particular about from which pots of money schools spend.
“I don’t want us to be a roadblock to what the school board needs,” said Alamance County Commissioner Steve Carter. “The only issue for me is how do we pay for it and making sure the way we pay for it is the most efficient for our taxpayers.”

The commissioners approved letting the Alamance-Burlington School System use nearly $4.8 million from its capital reserves for a set of projects like a roof replacement and a vocational building for the new high school. The school board had asked to use $9.6 million to fix three other roofs, make repairs at other schools and make up for the higher-than-expected cost of building a school.
The Alamance County Board of Commissioners turned down Lotus Bakeries third request for incentives since 2016 in a split vote Monday.
“I am concerned this is the third time,” said Commissioner Pam Thompson. “Is there going to be a fourth?”
Commissioner Craig Turner was recused because he and his law firm have represented Lotus in the past. So when Thompson and Commissioner Bill Lashley voted no, tying with Commissioners Steve Carter and John Paisley voting yes, the motion to approve a new package of $600,000 in county incentives failed.
“As a biz person I would suggest to you – don’t do it; you can stand on you’re own two feet; you don’t need our taxpayers’ money,” said Commissioner Bill Lashley. “I wish I could vote for this, but I cannot vote for incentives.”
