In yesterday’s column, the N&R’s Allen Johnson follows up this post on council member-elect Trudy Wade’s understanding, or lack thereof, regarding Greensboro’s water situation:

But Wade at least could have gotten some more concrete answers before casting a broad, wet blanket of aspersions on city government.

“I think we should be proactive and look ahead,” Wade said last week. “But certainly I’d want to talk to other council members and staff.”

Why not have those conversations before settling on premature conclusions in screaming red ink?

Good question. Next question: Why didn’t Johnson this column before the election?
