Summary
Zebulon’s town hall is in chaos—accusations of incompetence, a controversial commissioner reelection battle, a damning state audit, and a fresh wave of leadership changes. Amid staff resignations, questionable hires, and a costly lawsuit, residents are demanding accountability. A 67-page challenge questioned Commissioner Quentin Miles’ residency, citing a trespass warning for harassing gas station workers—but the elections board sided with him, citing lease, license, and utility records. Meanwhile, the town settled a rezoning lawsuit, appointed a new commissioner, and saw a historic mayoral win with higher turnout. The State Auditor’s report exposed gaping holes in financial controls, prompting Zebulon to launch a Progress Dashboard to fix it—starting with standardized contracts and tighter payment oversight.
