Here’s the story:
UNC BOARD: Lawmakers elected two failed candidates in last year’s race for state treasurer for seats on the University of North Carolina Board of Governors. State Democratic Party chairman David Young of Asheville, Republican Bill Daughtridge of Rocky Mount, and six others were elected Wednesday to eight House appointments to the board that oversees the state’s 16 public universities. Three others were in the contest, including Willis Whichard of Chapel Hill, a former state Supreme Court judge and former dean of the Campbell University law school. The Senate elected eight nominees last week.
