“The filing period for candidates for the the Nov. 12 Lumbee Tribal Council election ends Friday, but there is now a question of whether there is money to pay for the elections.

Carvicous Barfield, chairman of the tribe’s Elections Board, said Wednesday that she was recently told by Tribal Administrator Tony Hunt that there is no money available to fund an election. She said when she asked when money would be available, Hunt told her he didn’t know.”
