Does it really matter whether or not Greensboro City Council member Trudy Wade is interested in her district 5 seat, considering the fact that she “appears to be ready” to launch another bid for the Senate District 27 seat?

I’m just glad Wade’s there, period, to add a conservative voice to a council that currently holds an 8-1 liberal majority. That said, I’ll give the council credit for backing off — at least for now — the proposed downtown noise ordinance that would allow Mayor Robbie Perkins to get some sleep.

BTW, am I the only one around here who knows that a decibel meter is a free iPhone app? Surely not.
