From River Zurinsky:
Michael White invited all of the candidates running for City Council and Mayor of Florence to join him at Broadway Recreation Center yesterday to discuss their ambitions for running and answer questions from voters. This was the first opportunity I had since announcing my candidacy for Florence City Council District 2 to answer questions directly from voters, and I enjoyed getting to meet some of you and listen to your concerns. This was also my first opportunity to meet Alisa Sumsion Dickson who is running for Florence City Council District 3, and Ricky Pickett who is running for Mayor. Billy Ray Simpson who is running for Mayor, and Chapel King who is running for Florence City Council District 6 also took time out of their day to attend this event. I was disappointed when none of the candidates running for Florence City Council District 1, District 4, or District 5 showed up. I'm committed to making myself available to answer questions from the public whenever I have the opportunity to do so, and I hope that many of you will stop by my table at First Friday! I will be in Booth 80 in front of Rosie's Cantina beginning at 5:15 PM! Right now there is a 60% chance of rain on Friday morning, but I'm hopeful that the sky will be clear by Friday night.
Mr. Zurinsky not only appeared at the event to answer questions, he took the time to report on the meeting. It takes initiative to serve on the Florence City Council. Where were the other candidates?
