Mayor Wilder's TD OP-ED: Would-Be Successors Just Don't Make the Grade
-Bill Pantele = One candidate for the past three years has used his position on the City Council simply to further his political career while continually disparaging and undermining the city.
-Dwight Jones = Another candidate, who opposed the direct election of the mayor both before and after the people approved it by a margin of four to one -- and even protested to the Justice Department that the change would violate the Voting Rights Act -- now wants to lead them.
-Robert Grey = A third candidate who many thought had the potential to be a new leader has shown no recognition of any positive change that should be continued.
(see article below)

history? Leaning to endorsing?? or Believes he doesn't have a chance?
