Barber for mayor?
City Councilman Mike Barber, who has announced he won’t run for re-election in District 4, may have bigger goals in mind.
It would not surprise me in the least if he runs for mayor.
Barber has made no secret of his desire to be mayor, so the question has not been so much whether as when he'll make the move.
When might be right now.
Barber certainly seems to be positioning himself.
In this week's council session, he openly challenged how Mayor Yvonne Johnson was running the meeting.
Barber would face a steep challenge if he takes on Johnson, who is running for re-election.
But it is always a plus to have contested races for mayor.
This one would be interesting and very telling in what it .says about the direction of the city.

As the politics in Greensboro heat up we are reminded of Cicero's latin phase "Excitabat enim fluctus in simpulo".
We have lacked leadership for more than 20 years. It is more than apparent in our city services, goverment and council meetings.
When will Greensboro realize that the one constant we have had in our City's leadership is mediocracy.
