I won't say it, because I'll be accused of making comments about his stature.

It's kind of like the square under the Texas St. bridge; every thirty years or so someone tries to inject some new life money and effort into it but it always goes belly up eventually. <br /><br />Even mother ship NYT/Gannet is doing the belly dance. <br /><br />All the pride in this town you'd think would be reflected in it's local paper but it never has been. Instead ST celebrates its agony with a 'new improved' mini-version and tells us how much better it is. Other than local sports and entertainment schedules, it's only good for obits.<br /><br />Thank God for the internet.Laurence L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09233566821343443240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-91077859940260780482010-10-31T10:34:33.217-05:002010-10-31T10:34:33.217-05:00I thought the same thing.

I usually like Adam Causey's coverage of city hall, but I thought this was more than just a fluff piece, it was strange in its lack of substance.<br />Perhaps that is the Gannett approach.<br />I think one thing that has been underplayed is the influence of Keith Hightower and Greg Tarver in the race. Since their hand-picked candidate Roy Burrell didn't make the runoff, that support has gone to Wooley.<br />Why? Because Glover wouldn't play ball with Hightower when he was on the council and voted against the Hotel financing among other things.<br />There are undercurrents in every election, but this one is exceptional.<br />It's a shame that The Times didn't delve into it in more depth.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927133938857523885noreply@blogger.com
