Why is Don Vanney running for mayor of Arlington? Despite claims to address pressing concerns, his inactions speak louder than words.
In his time as a council member Vanney has not introduced anything to enact any of his campaign priorities. He has had ample time and opportunities to address the issues he now raises in his campaign against Mayor Barb Tolbert.
It is curious to me why he now criticizes staffing levels in the very budgets he voted to approve. It makes me question his consistency and commitment to his own campaign promises.
By contrast, Mayor Tolbert fosters a team culture that keeps our community moving toward improvement. I believe Arlington deserves a leader like Mayor Tolbert, with a proven history of action, not empty campaign promises.
