Records check
Looks like most candidates for office in Guilford County have been keeping their nose clean.
A background check of those involved in contested primaries next Tuesday found very few who have had brushes with the law, not counting minor traffic violations.
Those who have include two candidates for the Guilford County Board of Commissioners.
Incumbent Billy Yow, who faces two Republican primary opponents in his bid to keep the District 5 seat, was convicted in 1981 of driving while impaired.
E.H. Hennis, who is in the Republican primary for two at-large seats up for grabs, was convicted in 2000 of creating a bomb hoax during a commissioners meeting in 1998.
Apart from those candidates, you've got some speeding tickets, but that's about it.

Yow did a DWI 27 years ago? Wow! That drunken bum ain't gettin' my vote, that's for sure. Brenda Bowers
Talk about non-issues.
This one takes the prize.
