Scoring The 1st Danville City Council Forum (Part #1)

SouthsideCentral was at the first Danville City Council candidates forum held Monday night at the Alpha & Omega Missionary Baptist Church on Kemper Road. I was impressed. I was also dumbfounded, shocked and my eyes rolled across the floor more than a few times. Ten out of the eleven candidates showed up, so it’s going to take multiple articles to get through all the eight questions. The scoreboard is ready. Let’s get started.

RottenReporting: Smearing Danville Utilities

Technically, this is RottenEditorialWriting but that’s just too long and stupid looking.

Danville Utilities has done a good job getting rid of the problems that they had with employee corruption, but that doesn’t stop the editorial board of the Danville Register & Bee from attacking them with reckless rhetoric.

NumbersCentral: Danville’s Delinquent Property Taxes

The City of Danville does have a large dollar value of delinquent property taxes, but is that a “real problem” in the big picture? With data provided to SouthsideCentral by Danville’s Finance Director Michael Adkins, let’s look at the numbers and see what we can find out.

(Editor’s Note: Technically, this article could also be an “Ask SouthsideCentral!” because we got this question from one of our readers a few months ago. But it’s got a lot of numbers in it, so it’s a NumbersCentral article. And it’s a BreakDown because we’re going to analyze the numbers. So it’s all three. But I’ve got a new NumbersCentral graphic, so there. Anyway, let’s start digging.)
