Johnson: I don't know if Holliday plans another run
Former at-large candidate David Hoggard joined the press table last night to blog a city council meeting live. David quickly figured out what many reporters know about covering meetings: It's not easy to write an interesting story on the fly about discussions that are often terribly wonky.
But he does include a short item detailing a conversation he had with Council member Yvonne Johnson, who has long been seen as a future mayoral candidate. According to David, Johnson says she hasn't been able to get an answer out of Keith Holliday whether he intends to run again.
Holliday told me in an interview in December that he will make a decision by February or March.
David also reveals that Council member Tom Phillips will be starting his own weblog by weeks end. Ed Cone says that political pair Don and Nancy Vaughan plan a joint blog that will start up at the end of the month. They are joining Yvonne Johnson, who has had sporadic postings at her blog since November. We'll get you links to the new blogs when they go live.

I have to wonder why it is that all of the so-far-committed City Council webloggers are comprised onlt of the three who sit in the 'at-large' seats?

Hopefully we'll teach the rest of them how to blog. Plans are in the works for a "blog teach in" for any/all elected persons who are interested. Check the meetup for discussion.
