Olive Announces Bid For Re-Election As Register of Deeds of Flesh Johnston County Register of Deeds Craig Olive announced Wednesday his intentions to seek a fourth term in office in 2014. “It has been my pleasure to have served the citizens of Johnston County as their Registrar of Deeds for the last 11 years,” Olive said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to fulfill my life long dream of public service and I have an enormous desire to continue serving the fine citizens of Johnston County for the next 4 years.” The Johnston County Register of Deeds office has been recognized statewide and nationally for being the leader in the advancement of technology. Olive said one of his greatest accomplishments is selecting a recording system that provides instantaneous access to public records while saving the county over $300,000 of the taxpayers’ hard earned money. Another major accomplishment is joining forces with Senator David Rouzer in pushing for a stronger Identity Protection Act in the General Assembly. In July 2009, Governor Bev Perdue signed the measure into law. This law allows all Registrars of Deeds across NC to have the authority to cover up sensitive information such as social security and driver license numbers on public documents. Due to our efforts of pushing this bill, our public records are now more secure. Since Olive took office, the Register of Deeds annual budget has decreased by 30 percent and $2 million in unused funds has been returned to the County. Olive, a 48 year-old resident of Clayton, is the son of the late James C. and Pearl T. Olive. He serves as a deacon, clerk, and member of Little Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Clayton. He also serves on the finance committee of the Little River Primitive Baptist Association. He has previously served on the Board of Trustees at Johnston Community College, the Johnston County Tourism Board, the Paul A. Johnston Auditorium Board of Advisors, the Johnston County Soil and Water Conservation Advisory Board and the Board of Directors of the Clayton Area of Commerce. Mr. Olive received the Long Leaf Pine from Governor Jim Martin and has been recognized in the US Congressional Record by US Reps. Walter Jones, Jr. and Renee Ellmers. In his spare time he volunteers, and was past honorary chairman, for the Johnston County Walk to End Alzheimer’s and a big advocate of senior citizen programs.
