Recall Small: The tide is turning… is new blood needed?
by Matt | February 28th, 2007 |
So… I happened upon the RECALLsmall.com site today. If you aren’t from Greensboro, NC, the site is just the beginning of a campaign to recall one of our City Councilmembers, Dianne Bellamy-Small. Her child-like, playground antics are nothing short of insanity and they belong no where in the business of the City.
I think the tide is turning, really. It is time for some new and fresh blood in the City Council. How can you expect young professionals to stick around when all they see are a bunch of old fogies acting like Kindergarteners?
I think that a couple of well-qualified college students or younger 20-something folks should run in 2007. I really think they should and, you know, this tide might just turn enough to get the old bickering blood out and the new, fresh ideas in.
And, oh yeah… About that…
