Laurel Prussing for Mayor of Urbana
I recommend you check out Laurel Prussing's campaign website. Laurel Prussing is a former State Representative and former County Auditor, and she is running for Mayor of Urbana. She is running against incumbent Mayor Tod Satterthwaite. I have gotten to know Laurel over the last month or so and think she will make a great Mayor.
Some of you may recall one of my last posts about the "at-large" campaign in Urbana. Laurel was on the same side of that campaign (the "no" side) as an overwhelming majority of Urbana citizens (63% in the November election).
I won't renumerate her positions here as you can read them on the website. But one of the most interesting things you can read there is a collection of letters to the editor. Many of them are written by people with firsthand knowledge about various actions by Mayor Tod Satterthwaite, and detail a candidate that has trouble controlling his temper.
Too busy to get into much else, but please read the website and see what you think.
