Mail piece ignites Sen. 41 race; Tarte raised most cash

May 7 There's been a minor dust-up in the five-way race for the N.C. Senate District 41 primary election. A direct mail piece put out by one of the apparent front runners, John Aneralla, said he was the "authentic conservative" for the newly created seat. The mail piece compared Aneralla's positions on several issues, ranging from Amendment One to eliminating government pensions for elected officials, with those of Cornelius Mayor Jeff Tarte. Tarte said the mailing contained "misleading information" about his positions. "While some candidates may choose to go negative, I will stay positive, run on my record, and tell you why I feel I deserve your vote based on my positions on these issues," Tarte said in an email to the news media. Aneralla, meanwhile, fired back with his own email, saying the points he raised were accurate.

Aneralla appears to be the winner in terms of individual donations, with $48,750 coming into his account, vs. Tarte, with $45,369 in individual donations. Tarte, however, has lent his own campaign $50,000 in personal funds, bringing his total to nearly $100,000. Troy Stafford, a Cornelius resident, was the No. 3 fundraiser with $29,793. Robby Benton, a Huntersville-based race team owner, has brought in $13,500 total, and Dr. Donald Copeland, a Cornelius resident, has $700 of his own money in his campaign. The primary election is Tuesday. If none of the candidates wins 40 percent of the vote, there will be a runoff in July.

Developing your sense of Humor:
Take yourself less seriously!
JOANNE AHERN
Seniors Columnist

Do you love humor? I love to laugh.  Good clean jokes, one liners, and funny sayings go a long way in keeping the mood light, keeping the day from becoming drudgery. One of my lifetime goals is to laugh at least once a day. It’s 12:50pm and I’ve already had a good belly laugh. How about you??
