The Mayor of Carrboro and her longtime partner were first in the line of same-sex-couples that showed up at the Orange County Deeds office Monday for marriage licenses.
Incumbent Orange County Register of Deeds Deborah Brooks told WCHL that she would not sign marriage licenses for same-sex couples, as long as the state doesn’t recognize gay marriage.
Former Carrboro Mayor Mark Chilton says his extensive research into local real estate and land history is what inspired him to run for Orange County Register of Deeds.
