Although you may not be aware of it, we have 3 folks who would like to be Vice President of the City Council during the next session.  Although I certainly have nothing against Robin Lumb and Bill Gulliford, both are new to council this year while Clay Yarborough is in his second term (so he has a history and it is true blue conservative).  Clay is the city councilman for my district, and I had the pleasure of working for his campaign this last time for both the primary and the actual run off.  Clay has a number of advocates and most of them worked on his campaign, and I heard so much about this fine young man that I had not been aware of from those others who also worked his campaign.  I also spent a good bit of time around him.

I would start by saying Clay's most recent endeavors have been to hold town halls and meeting to provide information about the poker room that is supposed to go in to the old Garden Ridge store and to inform people about what the options are for the zoning change being requested and who to contact to voice your opinion either for or against the poker room or the zoning change request.  clay has also been doing editorials in our new Arlington Monthly newsletter about Arlington issues and most of us now wait eagerly each month for our copy of the paper to arrive as it is filled with news about happening in our part of town and our updates from Clay.
