Newman, Mondul and Marshall win in Danville

Say What…..arrogance does not suite you well. I would suggest you look at the last years with Marshall. He is listed with independent groups as one of the most ineffectual members of the state reps. He has promoted his own agenda also make no mistake about that. While Anderson may have not been the one to beat him we certainly need new representation. I contacted marshall on several issues and have never received any satisfaction. In each case I was told he would look into it and nothing was ever done nor did I ever receive a call back. Marshall is a member of the “country club crowd” and doesn’t give a hoot about Danville or its common citizens. Danville needs true representation for all citizens, not just the BMW set…...

SAY WHAT, perhaps you have too much lint in your ears to hear the giant sucking sound at the city limits of Danville.  Small business has been historically the bedrock of the economy in Danville.  It doesn’t take a mental giant to see the empty store fronts and lease space to realize that the community is no longer being supported by its representative in Richmond in a way that restores confidence in the community.  You may make all of the immature comments you like on Mr. Anderson’s candidacy, but he is absolutely correct that Danny Marshall has done NOTHING to help stimulate the Danville economy.  Young people are leaving in droves for better opportunities elsewhere rather than coming back to the community to find their fortunes and success.  Have you asked yourself why or would that kind of question give you a headache?  Mr. Anderson outlined a program to stimulate growth and retain the young population which will ultimately become Danville’s path out of its deep economic recession.  Do your homework the next time before you spout off with the only argument being that somewhere in the past two decades a mayor happened to have raised taxes and you haven’t gotten over it.

watchman, it’s not an urban myth.  I personally know Mike Newman, have for most of his life.  I know that Fuller is the one that told him to run.  If those people quit, then that’s their loss.  I’m sure Mike won’t have any problem filling their positions.
I do agree with you on the Mondul election.  I hope they are both big enough to be able to work together.

From what I understand Mr. Childress has as much integrity as Mr. Mondule.  I don’t think Danville would have gone wrong with either one of them.  If they are both the men I have heard they are, then they should be able to put the past behind and work together for the good of Danville.
Congrats to Mike Newman.  Mr. Fuller encouraged him to run back in Jan.  Mike Newman is a man of integrity.  He will do a fine job for the city of Danville.

Mike is a man of integrity. Despite the fact that many of us who voted Mike believe that Childress should be let go, I do not believe that Mike will do that. I believe Mike will give him the opportunity to either continue to work for the Sheriff’s Department, or leave voluntarily. He will be, however, watched closely. If he proves in the end to be a subversive, at that time I believe that he will be let go. I also believe that it is just a matter of time.
