Ed Cone called Greensboro City Council candidate Ryan Shell’s proposal to filter porn at the public library ‘pretty thin gruel,’ yet he latches on to Shell’s idea to provide shelter for all city bus stops.

Everyone knows my views on public transportation, but I wouldn’t suggest that providing shelter for bus stops isn’t something the city should do anyway since they’re we’re already paying to run buses with three riders.

But as a campaign issue, it’s –borrowing the phrase —- pretty thin gruel. Surely Shell will come up with stronger issues as the election season heats up.
