The Mountain Xpress reports the following from Asheville City Councilman-Elect Cecil Bothwell’s celebration on election night.
Bothwell, meanwhile, celebrated while urging his supporters to look to the 2011 Council elections for further progressive advances. Leaning on his agenda of local solutions to global climate change, he told Xpress that there are still Council members he sees as obstacles to environmental change: “I would hope in two years, we will replace Bill Russell and Jan Davis. I don’t think they get it. Global warming is a local problem everywhere. To the extent that Council is not aware of that, we need to replace people.”
