Ed Hillegass a No-Show at League/VPIS Council Debate
Ed Hillegass was a no-show at the League of Women Voter/V.P.I.S.' City Council Candidate Debate last night in the Council chambers. The packed house was told just prior to the start of the debate that the League heard from Ed Hillegass yesterday that he would not be attending the debate. No word on why.
Ed Hillegass is apparently taking lessons from his mentor, Sam Mabry, regarding campaign "strategy". (Note to Hillegass: Not showing up at the League of Women Voter's Debate is NOT a great strategy - unless you think the "no-show" label is less harmful to you as a candidate than your possible performance at the debate if you had shown up?? That's what's on everyone's mind...)
At least Ed Hillegass called; Mr. Mabry didn't even make a courtesy phone call to the League when he was a no-show at their Council debate in 2002 (in fact he criticized THEM in the paper that year!).
Well, the public will have another chance to familiarize themselves with Ed Hillegass as a candidate for City Council at the Chamber of Commerce's Council Debate on April 22nd. Let's hope he shows up.
The citizens of Falls Church deserve the opportunity to know who they are being asked to vote for!
