Thinking Out Loud
Endorsement season
It’s time again for endorsements.
We’ve had a steady stream of meetings with City Council candidates (and Natural Science Center boosters) over the past few days and almost always find them revealing.
Despite the welcome proliferation of candidate Web sites and blogs, there is no substitute for good, old-fashioned, face-to-face interviews.
Monday it was Yvonne Johnson and Bill Knight; Tuesday, Dianne Bellamy-Small and Luther Falls; today, Nettie Coad and Jim Kee, tomorrow, Sandra Anderson Groat, Danny Thompson and Gary Nixon (we split the at-large field in two); Friday,Zack Matheny and George Hartzman.
The endorsement schedule is as follows (it is subject to change, should major news break):
Oct. 18: Mayoral endorsement
Oct. 21: District 1/District 2 endorsement.
Oct. 22: District 3 endorsement.
Oct. 23: District 4/5 endorsements.
Oct. 24: Natural Science Center bonds.
Oct. 25: At-large endorsement.
Nov. 2. Endorsement recap.
