According to the Northwest Arkansas Times, “James Mike Duncan, a television reporter for KNWA in 2004, testified that Mayor Dan Coody tried to talk him out of airing the story about sewer spills on Romine’s property. Coody painted Romine as ‘an eccentric’ and said he did not think the story had much merit.

Early Voting Begins Today

If you’re registered to vote in Washington County, you can vote beginning today at the Washington County Courthouse at the corner of College and Dickson.  We strongly encourage you to do so.  This year’s general election on November 4th will likely see record-setting crowds given the historical nature of the race.  You can save yourself time by voting early.

Sincere thanks to everyone for their support over the last year.

Vote Walt for a fresh start, and together we can move Fayetteville forward.

Thank you.

Money, Money, Money

Has your salary jumped 28 percent since 2004?  Has it gone up by about $12,000 in the last two years alone?

Mayor Coody’s has.  Take a look:

2001:  $74,041.76
2002:  $75,033.92
2003:  $79,620.32
2004:  $83,312.32
2005:  $93,236.00
2006:  $95,752.80
2007:  $104,715.52
2008:  $107,038.88

Mayor Coody’s campaign slogan is “Let’s Keep a Good Thing Going.”  Now we know what he means.

Early voting begins today, Monday, October 20th.  If you’re registered to vote in Washington County, you can early vote at the Washington Count Courthouse at the corner of College and Dickson.

Vote Walt for a fresh start, and together we can move Fayetteville forward.

Putting a Student Rep on City Council

At yesterday’s mayoral debate, sponsored by the ASG and held in the Union, Walt unveiled his idea to put a student representative on City Council.  (The idea isn’t without precedent:  The University of Iowa student body is represented on Iowa City’s City Council, and the University of California - Davis has similar representation, too.)

Walt’s actively engaged students and young voters throughout his campaign.  He was the first mayoral candidate to ever request a meeting with the UA Executive Council, and during that meeting, he proposed a number of ways to strengthen the relationship between our community and the University of Arkansas.  (Read a recent campaign newsletter on this matter example here.)

Giving University of Arkansas students a clear voice on City Council makes sense.  Walt discusses the idea in greater detail in today’s weekly campaign newsletter.  (We’ll post a link as soon as the newsletter is published later this afternoon.)
