Missing
It's strange to me that current members of Greensboro City Council didn't attend last night's forum for at-large candidates sponsored by the League of Women Voters.
The exception was Sandra Anderson Groat, who's a candidate for re-election.
I'd think others would want to hear what the contenders have to say about the city and what questions voters are asking.
Of course, there were some criticisms of the council's performance voiced. There wouldn't be so many new candidates if everyone were happy with the state of things in Greensboro. But it shouldn't hurt to listen.
Well, maybe they were all home watching Ken Burns' new documentary about World War II.

Doug,
I can only speak for myself, but my work schedule has been horrendous lately, not to mention the flurry of personal activity with the birth of a new grandson and last minute preparations for an upcoming high school reunion I'm helping to plan. I was at home prepping for today's briefing session, following up on a number of constituent concerns, catching up on paperwork, attending to personal finances (paying bills), etc. -- never even had a chance to touch that TV (and rarely do)! {smile}

Understandable. But it is a very interesting field of candidates, with a lot to offer.

Sidney, thanks for working hard to let voters know where you stand.

It sounds as though Sandy Carmany's life is so busy right now that she doesn't have time to serve on the city council. Perhaps, it will be just as well that she isn't re-elected. It'll give her more time to plan her high school reunion.
