We already did a BreakDown on the City Council election results, so let’s do an overview on how the School Board election came out.

I’m going to be blasted for this article, but somebody has to say it. It’s been a week since Danville’s voters made their choices for City Council and School Board. Starting with the City Council race, Let’s do a BreakDown on the good things, the bad things, and the ugly things that happened to each of the candidates… The cause of a closed local restaurant’s fire has been ruled as “undetermined”. Wow. Didn’t see that one coming. Sometimes you just have to educate people on what shouldn’t go in a trashcan. Say, That’s Odd. Everybody loves numbers and math, so SouthsideCentral is debuting our NumbersCentral category. If a story can be told by charts, graphics, and numbers, we’ll show the information to you that way. Today’s edition is about the anemic voter turnout in Danville’s recent municipal elections… This is a serious scandal and somebody’s going to get kicked in the balls, folks. The golf balls, that is. We’re LIVE! from Spring St. and we have a bear in a tree. Photos and comments coming. Here’s the recap of Danville’s election night returns… The Danville Harvest Jubilee has released their concert series for this summer. Wow. Didn’t see that one coming. SouthsideCentral is ready to make our endorsements for the Danville School Board race. SouthsideCentral has listened and talked to all of the candidates running in the 2014 Danville City Council race and it’s now time for our endorsements. After looking at that scoreboard, I wonder if the Halifax County IDA is having second thoughts… Honestly, I have no idea what the hell is going on with this story. People love to know the salaries of City of Danville employees, so I decided to find out how much Economic Development Consultant Linwood Wright was being paid… Ready to hop into the SouthsideCentral Time Machine? This journey will take us back to a home invasion, fire and a punching bag (!?) story that never smelled right from the first moment I heard about the “crime”. There’s usually no excitement or fireworks in a Danville School Board election and this one’s going right with that trend. Let’s take a look at the candidates… Remain calm. All is well. Planning for only 7000 people has been handled. They got this. Yes, it’s ridiculous. Twelve days to go before the election, so lets see how the election is shaping up. Hey, we were right! Like you ever doubted us… Clarence Monday will be the new Pittsylvania County Administrator starting July 1st. We’re going to give him the SouthsideCentral OddsMakers! treatment in this article. This is the first time that I’ve ever heard about a case like this getting to court in Danville, and it’s about time. This is a strange mashup of two SouthsideCentral types of features. We’re going to hop in the Time Machine and go back to November 20, 2012. That’s the day that Danville City Council approved grant money to a losing trifecta of Job Busts. Get ready for a not so fun ride… I love economic development spin. Actually, I love to expose economic development spin and mock the hell out of it. It was about a year ago that there was a big announcement that promised 101 new jobs over the next three years. I bet you know where this is going… The Danville Pittsylvania County Chamber of Commerce hosted a job fair at the Institute today (with a lot of help from numerous partners). SouthsideCentral was there covering it (and hey, looking for a new job too!) and I’ve got a Big Board of Random Thoughts about it. |
