Last day to get signatures is 25 March. <br /><br /><br />Please contact the Columbia County Board of Elections directly for more information; they can be reached very easily by phone during normal business hours. (Don't bother with the Dem Committee-the chair is just a shill and is probably feeding info directly to your opponent.<br /><br /><br />*Please disregard the previous message listing the primary date as 1 Apr- signatures should be received to the BOE by 25 Mar. Please also make sure to collect more than the required amount of signatures, as signatures can be challenged and having less than the required amount will block you from the ballot.)John Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300676479057228139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-7546335812290626042021-03-18T00:10:03.234-04:002021-03-18T00:10:03.234-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.John Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300676479057228139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-41922569501521654832021-03-17T21:21:41.871-04:002021-03-17T21:21:41.871-04:00Mayor Johnson was right to respond that way, and I...Mayor Johnson was right to respond that way, and I hope people remember it the next time they hear that someone “ain’t black” because they're thinking outside the box.<br /><br />But the stronger statement would have left race out of it (though the story reported it was Karlee Burchfield who'd inserted race into the discussion): <br /><br />“I’m an adult with my own mind and I’m not going to let anybody tell me how I should feel.” <br /><br />Too MLK for our times? Not for me. His path was still the wisest and best. <br /><br />Resist coercion. Call it out. Defend one another. <br /><br />I thank Mayor Johnson for rejecting the speaker's blatant coercion. unheimlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204285837938988668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-27417006037460335562021-03-17T20:03:37.018-04:002021-03-17T20:03:37.018-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.M.

Five. Making it, if I'm not mistaken, the largest law firm in the county except the County. And not one has any labor law experience? In a city government where the majority of employees are union members? The mind reels considering what the qualifications were for the 5 attorneys in-house.John K.
