UPDATE: Full story here.
Sneak preview of tomorrow's story:
GREENSBORO - After eight months on the political sidelines, former Guilford County commissioner Mike Barber will run for the Greensboro City Council this fall.Barber said he plans to officially file Tuesday morning for the vacant District 4 seat.
"I genuinely enjoy serving the community as an elected official," Barber said.
Barber is the most prominent new candidate to file for the council election. With nine days left until the end of the filing period, five of the seven incumbents running again face no opposition for their seats.
Barber, a Democrat, also has the support of Republican Bob Skenes. You'll remember that Skenes lost by eight votes in 2003 to Florence Gatten. The endorsement may go a long way to shoring up Barber's credentials in the conservative-leaning Northwest.
