[Durham INC] Neal Hunter (751 South) developer donates $8K to Committee for Affairs of Black People

[Kelly J]

I agree with you will. If you want to run for office you should be prepared to state positions on important issues. Most especially those that are divisive and contested. To dodge and evade does not inspire confidence in how one will make political choices or handle conflict. I don't know Omar, but his (lack of) position on this issue leaves me cold. 

I will not be voting for him.

In my view it's an important indicator of how our community will grow -- continue the sprawl or focus on present developed areas in need. It matters because transportation costs will only grow in the future, our water needs are critical, and old-fashioned sprawl that accounts for neither can no longer be tolerated. This particular project also matters due to the way the developers carried it out. Omar ducks the question and takes no position, and I can only speculate given circumstantial evidence. I find that kind of political positioning more intolerable than taking a position I disagree with.
