My View By Jack Ford
Last Sunday, Lee Conklin used my column in The Truth to raise the name of Councilman Mike Ashford in the mayoral race. Then, Conklin and Troy Neff commented on how many committee meetings Ashford has missed on City Council. Rubbish. Many council committee meetings are useless and the savvy councilmember can discern which meeting is must attend and which are not. When I was a council member and in the legislature, I often had conflicting appointments. So I would pick which meeting was the more important.
