Here, Here,
My vote goes to Mary Terrell. I agree that she is a lady with integrity, intelligence, and intellect. She will bring dignity, honor and grace to the council. She has the character needed to serve in this position.
What do I need to do to support this move?

Surely both men must know that Ward 5 residents resent the "dumping ground" reputation that our ward has in the city. Ward 5 has more than shouldered its civic burden with medical marijuana, school closings, industrial sites and other controversial or undesirable legislation. While on the topic of the at-large race, I'm disappointed that we did not hear more about Leon Swain and AJ Cooper. Both men had intriguing backgrounds, but their campaigns never ignited a widespread spark of interest among the public and, perhaps more importantly, the press. Cooper will likely run again to fill the seat vacated by Mendelson's election to Council Chair, so we'll hear more from him in the coming months. --- In mailto:ward5%40yahoogroups.com, KPW <WKPW3@...> wrote:>> Thanks for sharing this.
