We are approximately one month away from the first filing day for the two council seats up for grabs this year. Sorry to disappoint some of you but this post is not about voting district representation on the town council, an idea which makes no sense today in Holly Springs. This post is about representation of the under 50 year old population in Holly Springs. Right now, to the best of my knowledge, no one on the council is under 50 years old, actually I think only one is under 60. The average age on the council is probably about 65 years old.
Does this adequately represent a town which has about 50% of it's residents between the ages of 21 and 55? (I based this on my own estimates using the 2000 census and more recent approximations.). Also, the estimated median age in Holly Springs is 33 years old. This is for you to decide, but I simply wanted bring this to your attention to make you think about your vote this November.
