Election Fallout?
A lot of local citizens are angry with the city council for its bungling of the request to endorse the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. I do not understand why the council would not endorse a group that wants to learn from one of the worst days in our city's history, particularly when the group is funded with private money.
The Gate Keeper reminds us why we should not be surprised: "As for our city council, why do people ask [SIC] surprised that they flubbed the handling of this issue? Have we forgotten St. James II, the Greensboro Generals, and the War on Crack already?" His point is well taken.
Time will tell if the T&R Commission made a tactical mistake by pushing the issue with the city council when there was clear dissension among council members. Just as interesting to me, though, is whether there will be any fallout for council members at the polls this November.
