Grits, I heard that two others signed up at town hall today. Williamson ( I forgot his first name...Adrian maybe? He's been seen in a lot of huddles with Ms. Dunham) and Rich Lovett have thrown their hats in the ring.
If I remember correctly, Rich Lovett was level headed. I will have to do more research on him though.....
I have not seen these names updated on the website yet. Are they still considering running?
BTW--you probable already know, Don Wendelken is throwing his name back in the hat.

The process was legal and the seat's been filled by a better man. I don't see a problem. I see an improvement.
Here's a link to the audio on the NWO site. That part whar the Mayor says "Ma'am!", that's her.

Great audio NWO---Dena gets brownie points this time. Mrs. Barnes stated it well!

I'm sorry, Grits, could you repeat that last part? I was distracted. Hee hee! Ma'am!
Seriously, I agree, Grits. Dena sounded good.

Grits, Williamson and Lovett picked up the application at Town Hall and left to have it notarized and to my knowledge they haven't turned them back in yet. Don't know if they reconsidered or not. I know at least one of them paid their 5 bucks though!
As for Sandra's audio clip... GREAT JOB SANDRA!!!!
I like how you included the part where Gail Dunham waddled up to the council table (interrupting Brown and distracting Hill).

Yes, I have thrown my hat into the ring (Oh Brother!!). I am faced with a diverse and (for the most part) involved group of individuals that are seeking election to the three available seats on Summerfields Town Council. I will do my best to answer any questions anyone has for me. (I may be asking for it!).
I can not promise anything other than being honest!! The reason for making that statement is that each topic facing the council is dynamic and changing daily. My job is to educate myself and be as informed as possible before I make my decision (That is the least I would expect from any elected official). I hope that discussing things with people the voters will get information that they need to make an informed decision. And I can not argue the decision of the residents in November. I hope everyone educated themselves on the candidates. If I am not the best person (in your opinion) please vote for the better person. That is your right... duty ... and responsibility!
I do not intend to spend any money other than the $5.00 filing fee. I hope dialogue like this and conversations I have with people and my actions I take (or don't take) on the Zoning Board, Wilson Farm HOA board, and Guilford County Environmental Review board speak to the type of person I am. Good luck to all and let the adventure begin!

Thanks Mr. Lovett--words of encouragement. I like the part of being honest, that's what we need. Educate me but be honest.
Glad you joined the race!

I agree, Grits. That sounds good, Mr Lovett! Glad to see you out there! Good luck!
By the way, I think your name's got good campaign slogan potential.
"Summerfield: Lovett or leave it." Hee hee! Or maybe "Summerfield: Ya Gotta Lovett!"

How do you define 'conservative'?
And secondly, conservative compared to what other definition (not label)?
Conservative meaning: people not wanting to hike up the tax rate to maintain ballparks, community parks, and whatever else, people not wanting to sale every piece of property and build, build, build(like greensboro), people that want to budget our money and not waste it on one item, or several items that do not matter.

| The current council is doing a steady job maintaining the tax rate at it's current incredibly low rate with the addition of ballfields and the new park. It has already been budgeted in.

If, and that is a BIG IF, you like paying taxes that is!
