More candidate questions from RVAnews.com.
Here are 5th District Council candidate responses (Jewell is still a self-admitted “dinosaur” when it comes to computers):
Mark Brandon: (3/5)
Assets : Its location on the James, it’s diverse neighborhoods and its history.
Liability : Its history
Marty Jewell (incumbent): (0/5)
NO RESPONSE
Lee Shewmake: (3/5)
Richmond’s greatest assets are history, architecture and neighborhoods. The three are so often interconnected and serve to define Richmond as unique in the tri cities area.
Richmond’s greatest liability is the infrastructure, which is very old and was severely neglected for so many decades. Improvements/replacements of these will be huge undertakings and the school structures are but one category.
