City, County campaigning BOE votes to ‘cure’ mismanagement of grants underway By Mike Steely Also, Big Turnout for Christina Graham [email protected]

With only ten days left before the qualifying dead- line, it appears that Pete Drew, a perpetual candi- date, will have to pick which At Large Seat he wants to run in, having picked up petitions to run in all three open seats in City Council. Drew, of 4121 Holston Drive, has petitions to oppose Councilmen Mar- shall Stair, George Wallace and Finbarr Saunders. Election Administrator Cliff Rogers told The Focus recently that a person can only run in one contest at a time. As of Tuesday only four petitions were returned and Chris Davis, Assistant Election Director, said that not everyone who picks up a qualifying petition actu- ally returns the 25 signa- tures of registered voters or stands for election.
