The Sampson County Board of Commissioners deadlocked 2-2 on approving a course of action for the 2012-13 budget Monday night and unanimously adopted an interim budget. Commissioner John Blanton, shown on the monitors, was listening in via video conference from the VA Hospital in Fayetteville, but could not vote after an amendment to allow him to do so produced another stalemate.
