Incumbents only qualifyers for Tyrone vote

It's going to be a quiet election year in Tyrone this year.
Qualifying ended last Friday for three positions held by Councilman Ronnie Cannon, Councilman Paul Letourneau and Mayor Sheryl Lee.
When the qualifying ended at 4:30 p.m., only the incumbents had qualified, said Town Clerk Valerie Fowler.
While the election might be quiet, this Thursday's council meeting could get a little heated as the subject of the county's impact fee for a new jail is once again on the agenda.
Last month, the town agreed to continue discussions about the matter over the objections of Cannon. The impact fee debate has dragged on for a few months, and both Cannon and the Fayette County Commission want the situation resolved.
The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at Tyrone Town Hall.
