Univeristy City Candidate Debates

University City will be electing candidates for city council in April. A series of recent debates have been held showcasing candidates for Wards 1 & 2 in University City. Candidates for Ward 1 are Carol Wofsey and incumbent Terry Crow, Candidates for Ward 2 are Jan Adams and Paulette Carr. Major discussion is about the future of University City. Mostly the candidates agree that attracting new business was the order of the day. However, Wofsey thought there should be an emphasis on accounting and systems. Interestingly, candidates Crow, Wofsey and Adams have strong business backgrounds and are very well educated. However, they are all very liberal and by that nature will not be very business friendly. Crow has been on the council for a number of years and has little to show for any real business development in the city. While there are some projects on the books, general leadership an the council has declined. A shining star on the panel was Paulette Carr who had specifics on development and for several years has worked to expose problems with city management.
