Jack Berry has been contemptuous of Oregon Hill residents in planning for the Tredegar Green amphitheater. He was quoted, “I’m not changing my plans because of what some guy in Oregon Hill says.” Sadly, I conclude he doesn’t care about everyday residents of the city and can’t conceal his lack of respect. He’s a strong no for me. Reply
Where did Lever Stony’s name come from for mayor? Also, where is Michelle’s name…I thought she was the first to announce. Reply
Michelle Mosby was in the first Round Poll: https://dogtowndish.com/2016/02/02/who-would-you-vote-for-as-richmonds-next-mayor/ She only collected 11% of the votes and was eliminated from the list of contenders who made it to the Second Round as a result. Levar Stoney has indicated an interest in running and has been written up in multiple articles as a possible contender for the position. Reply
What publications? I have been keeping up in the RTD and Style. I know they are not the end all…but that would seem to eliminate two major views. Maybe Richmond Magazine? I’ve seen a few things in there, but frankly, I had never heard of Lever Stony until your survey. And, I do not live under a rock. Just because someone has served in a state office, doesn’t mean that translates to being mayor. I would love to read more about Stony besides under Bing or Goggle. Thanks for putting this on. Reply
