City needs candidates with common sense

I am in agreement with Joel Landau, fellow at-large candidate, and Rosemarie Andrews (July 31, B 6). I, too, was disappointed in the News & Record's articles published on July 20, 21 and 22 -- the De Facto Endorsement articles (those who hold office, have held local office, or ran for office). Interestingly, I was not mentioned.

I ran in 2001 and 2003 for a District 1 seat. That should have made me qualified to be listed with the other named individuals. Although this may have been an oversight, the News & Record is doing a disservice to the citizens when it doesn't report on all the candidates equally.

Rosemarie Andrews is correct. We need representatives with some common sense. Let the voters decide who is best qualified to be representing them.

Voters who want more information on me can visit my Web site, Gregwoodardd1.blogspot.com.

Greg Woodard
Greensboro

The writer is an at-large candidate for Greensboro City Council.

Editor's note: Woodard was listed as a candidate July 15, 25 and 29.

Just a suggestion Greg.
I have been trying to comment on your blog and am unable to do so with the instructions you have provided.
There are no comments on your last three posts so maybe other people are having trouble posting also.
I believe many people would be trying to comment on your idea of the city partnering with the Civil Rights Museum after voters have rejected that bond by roughly 29,000 to 24,000.
