Graziano Is The Smart Choice for City Council President
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting that Councilwoman Kathy Graziano of the city's 4th council district has the votes to become the leader of the next city council. Says the RTD:
Graziano has proven her ability and energy during her three terms on council and she will be a strong advocate for all parts of the city. Additionally I can't help but think that having a mayor and a city council president from south of the river is a good thing for an area that needs far more city attention.
Graziano, one of three council members with interest in the position, said it's a very strong possibility that she'll get the two-year appointment in January, but she added, "We'll have to see how some things shake out."
Graziano, a retired lobbyist who is starting her third term on the council, is "real even-handed," 9th District Councilman Douglas G. Conner Jr. said.
"She runs a tight meeting," 3rd District Councilman Chris A. Hilbert said. "I'm impressed that she'll lead us in the right direction."
