BRACK: Nerf candidates for mayor up to it again

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | The Nerf candidates of Charleston’s mayoral race are up to no good again.

Instead of working to make Charleston more livable and better, as exemplified by what Mayor John Tecklenburg is trying to do, these nimrods are spewing slimy spitballs during council meetings and generally wasting time.

And perhaps, they’re showing their intelligence and leadership, or lack thereof. Or maybe they’re just taking attack bait supplied by the Tweedle Twins, West Ashley council members Bill Moody and Keith Waring, who have spent three years plotting against Tecklenburg.

BRACK: White, Griffin launch Nerf campaigns for mayor

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | The silly season is here already in Charleston city politics.

In the last week, two city council members, 45-year-old Gary White and 23-year-old Harry Griffin, huffed and puffed that they are running for mayor against first-term incumbent John Tecklenburg.

Their reasons for running appear to be that they don’t much like Tecklenburg, who has been thwarted by the likes of White and Griffin and other council members who don’t seem to want to move quickly on curbing rampant development that’s destroying the character of the city or dealing proactively with flooding.
