Campaign Blog: I look forward to talking with union, Invista on stormwater solution
The leaders of an employees union at the Invista plant have decided to offer an endorsement for one of my Ward B opponents, Bruce Allen, based on what they know of his position on funding for the city’s stormwater-mitigation program.
I think it’s great for the union to get involved in the local election process, personally. According to a newspaper reporter who just called to get comment from me about the endorsement, this is the first time in the union’s 71-year history that it has endorsed any candidate for Waynesboro City Council.
I would have welcomed the opportunity to have engaged the union to explain my position on stormwater funding. Unfortunately, I was not given this opportunity.
That oversight notwithstanding, I pledge to reach out to the union and management when I’m elected to get their input and make sure that their positions are represented in the final solution to our city’s longstanding stormwater problem.
