Several TDBS updates
News is flying into my desk here at the Daily Planet at a right smart clip about beleaguered Greensboro City Councilwoman T. Dianne Bellemy-Small. Let me try to catch you up:
1. This statement, proportedly from Bellamy-Small, appears about half-way down (at the 6:06 p.m. Feb. 28 time mark) on this WFMY Web site.
2. Evidently, the Pulpit Forum had a press conference this morning. Strangely, the newsroom didn't know about it. I'm following up.
3. The newspaper just received this statement from Luther Falls Jr., who lost to Bellamy-Small by 50 votes in the 2005 election:
"I join with the Pulpit Forum NAACP to denounce the recall request of Councilmember Diane (sic) Bellamy Small (sic) by Councilmember Florence Gatten. I strongly feel that the citizens of District 1 should decide who should represent them through the electoral process this year in the fall 2007. I, Luther Falls Jr., will be announcing my intentions in the next few weeks about whether or not I will be offering myself as a choice for the citizens of District 1 in this year's city elections."
More to come.
