If you’ve ever been to a Columbia City Council meeting, odds are you’ve witnessed one of Councilman E.W. Cromartie’s legendary speeches — where words like “cohesify” were born.
Before his resignation today amid charges of federal tax evasion, Cromartie presided over one last City Council meeting and ended it with one last speech.
Laddie Howard will not run for District 2
Lobbyist Laddie Howard said today he will not file for the District 2 election to replace former City Councilman E.W. Cromartie.
Howard said the election, scheduled for April 6, does not give him enough time to run a campaign.
Howard did not know about Paul Denman’s lawsuit, which is scheduled to go before a judge Thursday morning. But Howard said even if the April 6 election is halted, the council seat will be up for reelection in 2012. He might run then instead.
