Merge Records turns 35, Durham indie label celebrates
It all began when Mac McCaughan, a young musician who had moved to Durham as a teenager and spent his college years between Colombia University and Chapel Hill, started a band called Chunk with his then-girlfriend, bassist Laura Ballance. The band became Superchunk, which lit the fuse for Merge Records. That was 35 years ago, and today, Merge is easily one of the country’s most influential independent music labels.

Granted, the materials point to a 5.7-cent property tax rate increase, if both bond issues are enacted; entirely missing, however, is information to put that increase in the tax rate in a neutral context. For instance, the practical impact of 5.7-cent rate hike is an approximately 11.787-percent increase in the city’s property tax rate, which currently stands at 48.36 cents per $100.
