City primaries demand well-informed voters

On Tuesday, Greensboro's voters will have an opportunity to select the top several candidates for City Council at-large positions, as well as for their own particular districts.

Before voters go to the polls, I urge them to look carefully at the qualifications, the occupations and the financial backers of each candidate. This information has been printed in the News & Record and is available through the Internet. In addition, both political parties, the League of Women Voters, and the Greensboro Public Library should be able to provide current information on each person.

Please do not go blindly into the voting booth making a choice based only on name recognition. That is not always a good decision. Do go to the polls Tuesday as well-informed as you can be.

Good morning. I am a candidate At Large and have refused to accept any monetary donations for this campaign. I have identified some of the major problems and offered solutions. I hope those who read your letter will check me out. sidneygray.blogspot.com.

Zack Matheney

He has accepted a dog's load of cash from Real Estate Developers and is in Jim Melvin's pocket.
