Yvonne's in (Part II)

So now it is official...Greensboro Mayor Yvonne Johnson wants a second term as second-in-command of the Gate City (under the mayor-manager form of government, the manager is really in charge, but that's another talk show).

During a mid-morning presser, Johnson outlined key goals for not only this year, but her upcoming reelection campaign.

N&R:

Build the economy, bolster public safety and don't increase taxes.

Those were the new year's goals Mayor Yvonne Johnson shared with reporters Tuesday morning at One Step Further, the non-profit she leads.

Johnson called on her fellow council members to dedicate themselves to the same goals.

"How we perform as a city government during this time of crisis will be the real measure of our character," she said.
***************************
I think the entertaining part of the upcoming campaign is not only who will run against her, but who will also run for City Council. Because this city needs to take a drastically different direction...and fast.
