The mayor gets the photo. Two council seats never saw a ballot. And the job that actually runs Boone has been filled on a temporary basis since December.
One book in Boone decides how tall a building gets and how many bathrooms go in a four-bedroom. A developer asked to be let out of ten of its rules. The Planning Commission recommended denial, unanimously. The decision is Town Council's.
You didn't vote for the boss who runs Boone day to day. A search for a permanent one is still happening, and it's the second time in a year.
