Is Dr. Newbille going to sit for an updated interview?
@BAF – yep, on the schedule. Kirsten Gray, too. & I’ve got Jon Baliles interview recorded that I need to find time to write-up.
LAST UPDATE BEFORE ELECTION DAY, I THINK
The City Council race is just killing me. I cannot decide between Newbille and Williams. Ugh.
I’d be very interested in your perceived strengths/weaknesses of each of the candidates.
I think it’s telling that even the Richmond Times Dispatch, which endorsed or said nice things about every other incumbent running for reelection, did NOT endorse Newbille.
Why that is, I don’t know but I suspect they fully aware of
Dr. Newbille’s reputation as an INVISIBLE and NON-RESPONSIVE council member who has been nothing but a rubber stamp for Mayor Dwight Jones.
I’ve never even met Joshua Williams but he gets my vote by default.
