Bellamy To Stand For Re-election

Ashvegas has the hot scoop:

“Asheville Mayor Terry Bellamy announced tonight that she is running for re-election as mayor in 2009. 
[...]
Bellamy said she has no intention of going anywhere, and hopes to win re-election as mayor. Bellamy was responding to rumors started over at Scrutiny Hooligans. Hooligans, let it be known that the mayor is reading the blogs.

Aside from the tres hip shoutout, I’m glad to hear that Terry Bellamy is going to run again. No one in the prospective field had me turning cartwheels, and her decision ought to dissuade some of the less attractive from making a go. Further, the prospect of having a special election for Mayor is more than exhausting in the wake of this epochal national election.
