Reporter Dick Cook reviews colorful characters, serious thinking people running for mayor of East Ridge and city council. Eight seek 2 seats on the council, with three or four serious, knowledgeable on how “the system” works. Also, a word about Esther Helton, her refusal to debate in her state house race, and her qualifications. Dick runs a terrific lococentric website, Eastridgenewsonline.com. Please subscribe.
