Cha-ching!
There's a lot of speculation about who is running for Greensboro City Council this year. And by "lots," I mean I'm speculating. Constantly.
Tom Phillips has said he won't file. Sandy Carmany has said she's running again.
The other seven honorables? Eh, we can only speculate. That and provide to you a list of how much money council members have in their campaign accounts (based on the last available filings to the Guilford County Board of Elections):
Yvonne Johnson: $6,512
Mike Barber: $4,974
Sandy Carmany: $2,689
T. Dianne Bellamy-Small: $2,473
Mayor Keith Holliday: $1,301
Goldie Wells: $853
Sandra Anderson Groat: $829
Florence Gatten: $626
Tom Phillips: Closed his account; donated money ($4,222) to charity
A few former candidates still have open accounts:
John Hammer: $3,478.71
Joel Landau: $158.83
Janet Wallace: $11.84

In other business, Bill Moffett of North Wilkesboro wants you to know he's not running for Greensboro City Council.
'If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve," the retired history teacher said in an impromptu (and very long) speech, which greatly amused him but not so much his (captive) audience of one.
This news should come as a huge relief to those who know my dad.

I suppose it was irrelevant to your conversation with him that both the city charter and, I believe, state law would prevent Mr. Moffett from serving on the Greensboro City Council since he doesn't, you know, live in the city.

Being legally barred from something has never stopped my dad.
