Renfroe Mulls Challenge to Woodward Mayoral Bid
Councilman J N Renfroe, known as Mayor Woodward's ally, says he may run for mayor if the recall against Woodward succeeds. He asserts he never aimed for city chief executive until recall momentum, and promises to enter the race if an opening occurs, likely next year. Renfroe alleges recalls expose illegal free paving along Granger Street and vows to publish related papers with recall workers to challenge tax dodgers, while council members dispute his claims about paving.

City Council weighs postponing bond election vote
City officials and Mayor Woodward back postponement of the September 30 bond election. About 3,000 to 4,000 voters on the registration list are dead or out of the city, which could defeat the bond plan. Council may repeal the advertising ordinance to cancel the call and reschedule next year with a confirmed registration and campaign. The Constitution endorses postponement, and several council members, including finance and tax committees, align with that stance.
