Covert out: Blount running unopposed - again.

I just got off of the phone with the Kingsland City Clerk, Linda O'Shaughnessy. She confirmed that Norm Covert did indeed come in yesterday and withdraw his qualification as a candidate. He stated that on further consideration, he realized that he really was not quite up to speed on what one would need to know to be an effective city councilman, but stated that he would henceforward attend more city council meetings. Perhaps he will try again in the future.

So I guess there will be no Covert operations in Kingsland?? Sorry, I could not resist.

That's okay - I beat you to it. The last time I voted over at Mary lee Clark, as he was checking my form (he's a perennial poll worker) I said, "well, I see this is a Covert operation." Apparently, he gets that all of the time. Of course, it has a particular poignancy when you consider that he is on the Camden County Board of Tax Assessors!
