Janet Wallace = Janet Soyars
There is some apparent confusion over an item in the print Inside Scoop on prospective city council candidate Janet Wallace.
Candidate steps up
After Greensboro City Council member Florence Gatten's decided not to seek a third term in District 4, former child-support enforcement officer and N.C. A&T student Janet Wallace said she plans to seek the seat.
Wallace, 35, has been active in the county's Republican Party, serving recently as its secretary. She said that if elected, she will seek tighter controls on spending in the wake of scandals such as the collapse of Project Homestead.
Apparently the candidate in question is more commonly known by her maiden name, Janet Soyars. And to clarify "recently," Guilford GOP Chairman Marcus Kindley said Ms. Soyars-Wallace was secretary of the party until 1999.
Scoop will keep its ear to the ground for any other prospective candidates.
