5 p.m. “I’m not going to say right now that I’m absolutely going to do this, or I’m absolutely not going to do that,” said Jim Holcombe, seeking the same job as Mr. Malinowski. That’s good. A councilman should have an open mind. I would have felt better, though, if he’d had more to say about such major issues as how to pay for the regional bus system. He was more interested in school District 5. I agree that it’s “a great system if we don’t let a small group” drag it down. But it doesn’t have much to do with Richland County Council.
I’d also have liked it if he had mentioned that his wife works for a developer whose projects have ticked off a lot of people in the district, to the point that some have made an issue of it. All he had to do was mention it, and explain that he didn’t think it was a big deal, and why. It doesn’t seem like a deal-killer to me. But instead, he sort of gazed at the ceiling at each question, apparently thinking about ways he could avoid telling us anything.
Disappointing. Anyway, here’s our endorsement in this race.
