Mayoral candidate forums past and future
I hate to kick a Chattahoochee baptism out of the top spot on the blog but I finally found Thomas Wheatley’s take on Tuesday’s transportation forum on Creative Loafing’s site and I want to be sure you have all seen it, too.
He also provides a link to what’s essentially a transcript of the event on Atlanta Bicycle Coalition’s site.
Super useful, because I really cherry-picked the comments I chose to write about, leaving out that, for example, Mary Norwood drives an old Buick or that Jesse Spikes still has the bike he used in his college days, which is very heavy, he said, and probably lives in the garage 24/7.
I’m thrilled to say there is a core group of Atlantans who are paying very close attention to the mayoral race.
I found a list of upcoming mayoral candidate forums on Kasim Reed’s site. Very helpful, Sen. Reed!
