In the News

The Sun has a good article on last weekends Columbia elections.

The Flier also has a good article, though I must say I was a bit surprised my the sub-headline: "Slow-growth blogger joins election winners". I am a blogger, but I am not for slow-growth. Frankly, I would prefer a plan approved for downtown as soon as possible and I am for a re-developed downtown. I am however opposed to the sloppy development plan the county currently has on the table because I think it fails to have the infrastructure needed to meet the community's needs and it does not reflect the value structure of Columbia where people of all backgrounds can live next to each other.

That all being said the Flier had an editorial on me that I am ecstatic about :) It is not online for me to link to, but is on my listening sessions at the Bagel Bin. I am really looking forward to talk to everyone about any issue they see facing Columbia. It will be this Sunday from 10 am to 12 noon.

The editorial also ponders how I might use my blog now I am elected. I hope that it becomes a useful mechanism to have a open conversation where we can collectively search for the best solutions for challenges facing our community.
