The previously mentioned Jacksonville Daily News article has been published.
My above linked previous post sets the premise of the article, so I won’t repeat it here. I will point out new information, though.
Like Jacksonville Mayor Sammy Phillips’ bogus claim that the City has “done a lot” to promote alternative transportation:
“We’re certainly proud of that designation,” [...]
I’d like to send the candidates running for the Onslow County Board of Commissioners a questionnaire (hopefully to be answered by election day).
Here are some of the questions I have:
The Onslow County Board of Commissioners and the City Council of Jacksonville have not been able to work well together in recent years. Would you [...]
I haven’t covered the 2008 elections enough since the North Carolina Primaries in May and for that I apologize.
Some of the comments made on Wednesday evening have given me cause to join the conversation…Former New York City Mayor and also-ran for the Republican nomination Rudy Giuliani and Alaska’s Governor and Republican candidate for Vice President [...]

In most parts of the world (Europe, Asia, Africa and South America), the bicycle is one of the most-used forms of transportation (seconded only by feet, I’d bet). According to Ibike.org’s statistical data library, 30% of trips in the Netherlands in 1998 were by bicycle. Indeed, even in modern France, the bicycle is such [...]
Dear Senator McCaskill,
Twice I’ve attempted to email you regarding House Concurrent Resolution 305 and twice you’ve told me that, while you “appreciate hearing” from me, “Unfortunately, your message was caught in Senate spam filters.” Your email recommends that I “…please submit your comments through the webform on my Senate website – http://mccaskill.senate.gov.” I did, Senator [...]
