All of that and we still don’t know where three of the five candidates stand on the Downtown Master Plan! Oh well…

Williams: Technical. Livable city. Work with the lady. Riverboat politics.

Pantele: Celebrate! Let’s go. Dare to be big. Trolley. Downtown. Downtown. Downtown.

Jones: Nice time lady. Dance with both parties. I have done that. Remember the Alamo.

Grey: Attention. Richmond is ready. Operating. More taxes. Look.

Goldman: We thing. Modernized. I. I. I. I. Veto. Mess.

To those that find this, tell our families we love them. It’s been diffffficcullldsfsakgdj VULTURES!!! dgksdlgs.

Jones: Wall Street and Virginia’s budget woes makes me a huge pessimist. If we can “keep the lights on” than we can use the funds for schools and “the Master Plan, which I thought we were going to talk about tonight.” Dig!

Missed Pantele and Williams on account of technical distractions.

Except that Williams shares Jones’ sense of doom.

Goldman: Did I mention my master’s degree in public administration? Not to voters: I get it. I was the finance go-to guy for Wilder (the good one, from the past) and for Mark Warner.

Grey: He laughs. Then speaks. “I think that the mayor and the City Council have to sit down” and budget against what the citizens want.

We should just go out on top guys, seriously.

Robert Grey just answered a question about the recent services audit. He replied that he loves his Audi “a whole lot.”

The sixth mayoral candidate said she would take the wasted funding uncovered in the audit, and would created “the bestest ever Public Pole Dancing School System ever.”

(Also the last question from the audience = ( — THAT’S RIGHT FROWNY FACE.

It’s like John McCain v. Ron Paul up in here! Please make more jokes and talk less about policy!

Everyone’s in agreement that the city just needs to do a better job doing … basic city services. Oh, seriously?

Goldman: It’s going to be a real test for our community. And now I’m going to avoid the question entirely by talking about my Shadow Council. Back to point: “When you start displacing people … what could be a more moral issue, what could be a more important issue?”

Grey: “Richmond has a very high concentration of public housing … we owe it to the citizens in public housing every opportunity to be successful.” Let’s think about this, he says. It takes people willing to see a neighborhood be created. “I believe we can really advance the development of other homes in Highland Park,” he says in reference to the demolition of Dove Court in that area. He’s got some passion in his voice here.

Jones: The whole model “was a failed experiment of the 50s.” Immoral, unacceptable. “We have got to decentralize poverty.”

Pantele: We play small ball. “What if we really sat down and started thinking bigger?” What if we took the city owned land around Gilpin Court and do better planning to rebuild their community.

Williams: Wants to “create something beyond belief.” But hasn’t quite told us what that would be. New homes.
