No surprise — the N&R endorses Greensboro City Council member Robbie Perkins over incumbent Mayor Bill Knight in tomorrow’s election:
In style and in substance, Perkins, who outpolled Knight by 14 percentage points in the Oct. 11 primary, is easily the more assured, effective leader. He articulates his vision for the city more clearly and thoughtfully. He made valid points during the heated landfill debates that the process was flawed and lacked critical data. Perkins fought, unsuccessfully, to bring more information about solid waste options to the table. Knight and three allies on the council blocked those efforts and seemed not to want to hear all of the facts.
I guess the healing over the White Street landfill comes too late for Mayor Knight.
