One hat too many: Can city employee run for City Council and keep his day job?
Share
Column by Chris Graham So I’m hearing though the grapevine that the head of a city-government department in Waynesboro is thinking about running for City Council next year, and that he’s not necessarily thinking about quitting his day job before doing it. “Can’t be,” I remember saying when I first was made aware of this…

I just love getting caught up in the crosshairs of a political controversy. “We appreciate the Augusta Free Press setting the record straight,” an e-mail from the campaign of Republican Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling offered up, after having explained that we had reported that Democratic Party lieutenant-governor nominee Jody Wagner had gotten it wrong when…

Still waiting to hear from the Creigh Deeds campaign on when the Deeds Country Tour will hit my part of the Valley. Still haven’t heard from anybody in the campaign about scheduling a Waynesboro event for the Tour. Still assuming I’ll catch the tour in Staunton when it comes this way. Elsewhere …
