Kevin Wolff
While I have this semester break, I thought I'd take the time to follow-up on the last blog entry I wrote addressing mayoral candidate Kevin Wolff and his...allegations. I sent a copy of what I had written directly to the campaign of Kevin Wolff and was promptly told by him (or his staff) in so many words that "with age and understanding", I would one day learn not to be judgmental and that if he becomes elected, he will implement a 2 year plan to get Chapel Hill's homeless of the streets by meeting with each and every individual to address their personal issues (in which he invited me to get involved).
Just a head's up that Mr. Wolff is now canvasing in Southern Village. He gave me a flyer that says "You must VOTE and voice your opposition NOW!" to keep our children and citizens safe.
I thanked him for running, but decided not to interrupt working to have a political discussion. The flyer is interesting as it takes potshots at the current council and mayor.
He promises to "personally reduce the number of homeless people and the amount of pan handling throughout the city". How is he going to do that? Give them money out of his own pocket? Personally provide job training in his home?
He talks about "my Smart Growth" process that will "Not force our desires into failed objectives that cannot be sustained by the present and future economy", insinuating that the current council doesn't listen to developers.
Interesting that he's not running for council...
I am imgaine the reason this is so short (one hour) is that there isn't much to ask the challengers besides "who the **** do you think you are?" and then thank Mark Kleinschmidt for his service and polite patience with these bozos. Here's my favorite part of WCHL's story about this:
...challenger Kevin Wolff proposed the forum earlier this month, but hasn’t yet confirmed his attendance.
Date:
Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - 8:00pm to 9:00pm
Location:
WCHL Studio, VilCom Center Drive, Chapel Hill
After reading an email about Kevin Wolff's "Warning to Chapel Hill Residents", I was inspired by the response from the men of the IFC shelter to write an open letter to Mr. Wolff regarding his allegations about the danger of moving the men's shelter near Homestead Park.
Mr. Wolff:
Earlier this week, perennial Chapel Hill mayoral candidate Kevin Wolff disseminated a campaign flyer in the Homestead Park neighborhood telling parents that they should be very concerned about the men's transitional facility locating on Homestead Road, suggesting that when the shelter is located there "a child will be assaulted, molested, kidnapped, and/or killed in that park. It's not a matter of if this will happen... it is a matter of when." The full flyer can be read
here.
The meeting this evening in White Cross, near the top-ranked 'Site
H' for UNC air operations after RDU, was very well attended and full of
reasonable information, some of which was recently brought out in the
Indy. I encourage participation in further meetings organized by
http://preserveruralorange.org.
The Town of Chapel Hill is proposing a system to provide public financing to candidates that can demonstrate a base level of community support. This can be a great way to help candidates focus more on talking to voters and less time on raising money.
The Council discussed this at their meeting tonight. Did anyone else watch this? If so, can you explain Kevin Wolff's comments, because I didn't find him especially coherent. He kept calling himself "viable" and claimed that incumbents running for re-election was hypocritical.
Chapel Hill is the first municipality in North Carolina to receive legislative authorization to provide a locally funded public campaign financing program. Session Law 2007-222 provides the following key requirements.
With husband and wife pair Kevin and Mary Wolff running as Republican and Democrat for the same At-Large County Commissioner seat, the message is clear. Elect him, err, her, err... The bizarreness of the whole situation still hasn't rubbed off yet.
Today's eagle-eye award goes to
Tom Jensen who notes that a Kevin A. Wolff has
filed to run for Mayor of Chapel Hill! Anyone heard of this guy? I can't even find his
voter file.
