A Splash of Campaign Finance, a Jump into the Jury Pool…
Judge Anderson, after Monday’s forum, kindly gave me a brochure from the American Judicature Society (AJS), a non-partisan group created to “secure and promote an independent and qualified judiciary and fair system of justice.” He handed me the tract just minutes after I discussed my call for candidates in both the Superior Court District 15B […]

Here comes the Judge: Superior Court District 15B Oct. 16th Bar Forum
There were 20+ folks tonight – with a couple from the media – maybe 4 or 5 organizers – some town staff and the balance being interested citizens. I was already convinced that District 15B voters have a heck of slate of candidates before them – tonight I was more impressed than ever. Very simply […]

Oct. 16th Superior Court 15B Forum: Stein’s Short Term
This was one of the most interesting questions of the evening. Essentially, what did the candidates think if Mr. Stein was elected to serve only 2+ years of an 8 year term. Judge Anderson dodged and weaved. Judge Fox left it to the people. Mr. Stein defended the propriety. Judge Baddour, in the most direct […]

Greensboro’s Chief Problem: Transparency in the Hands of the Blogsphere
Via Ed Cone, the consultant’s report (RMA) I posted on earlier is in the wild. An anonymously redacted and posted version is available on Greensboro101. Guarino has a nice precis of the report – says that the report is “remarkable because of its relatively narrow scope”. Now, the big question, at least for blogactivists: will […]

Daily Tar Heel’s Excellent Use of Technology
Even the forward looking journalists at this weekend’s ConvergeSouth could learn a trick or two from our local university’s Daily Tar Heel. What a great mashup of raw data on drinking violations and mapping technology to simply demonstrate an evolution of a problem. Well done Tar Heel.

Oct. 16th Superior Court District 15B Forum
A quick reminder of tonight’s Superior Court District 15B forum. This one will be telecast, so I’ll probably not create a bazillion youTube clips like Oct. 11th’s forum. From the N&O calendar: The 15B Judicial District Bar will hold a forum for District 15-B Superior Court judge candidates at 7 p.m. Monday in the Chapel […]
