Anthony Foxx sounding very mayoral

Cross-posted from NCPolitico

A couple of weeks ago Anthony Foxx held a press conference in support of the proposed streetcar in Charlotte. I attended to support my mother, Patsy Kinsey, who stood by Foxx as he spoke. She was given an opportunity to speak and did so, reinforcing her support of the streetcar which will go right through her district and will help promote economic development in underserved areas of the community.

Back to Anthony...I haven't always been impressed with him and I admit it was for superficial reasons. I have always admitted he is smart - brilliant, actually - and he does care very much for Charlotte. Finally, at this press conference, I heard a mayor speaking. He was clear, concise and firm.

I don't expect you to take my word for it. I hope you will find time to attend a forum or to watch or listen to him speak when you get a chance so you can hear and see for yourself.

I like John Lassiter. I think he's a nice guy. I also think electing Lassiter would be like electing McCrory for another two years and God knows we've had enough of Pat McCrory to last a lifetime.
