Fayetteville is the city of Bobby Ferrells and Steve Clarks. No more progressive pretense from me. We’re just another big ole Arkansawyer town. I’ll stop pretending we’re anything different.
Will you keep us posted about Sunday liquor sales in Springdale? Having a hard time finding those results.
No problem. It’s very close so far.
FOR – 3,225 (49.9%)
AGAINST – 3,236 (50.1%)
4029 just tweeted that Coody has conceded. True??
Hey Barb. Saw that. Multiple media outlets, and a spokesperson for Jordan’s campaign told us that Coody has conceded the race. We still haven’t heard it from the Coody campaign, though.
It’s all over the news now, but no one is reporting the numbers yet.
Hey Barb. The numbers won’t come out until around 11 p.m. Dan did just respond to my message, however, and confirm that he has conceded.
Well I can honestly say I will rest easy tonight. Congratulations to Mayor Jordan and to the citizens of our great city. The more respected, honest, and best man won tonight. The City of Fayetteville will thrive under his leadership. Now let’s build a parking deck!
