Deanna’s Going To Run Again, Too

Three-term Councilwoman Deanna Goodlander won't make it official for a coupla weeks, but she will run for re-election this fall. Goodlander, who sits on the LCDC board, believes she's facing a nasty campaign from opponents of urban renewal. But she wants to continue working on several projects, including downtown renewal and possible changes to McEuen Field. She said she first ran for office to help change the way city staff and the building department operate. And believes those two areas are now very user friendly. Also, she noted, the city, behind Finance Director Troy Thymesen, has handled its finances so well that no layoffs have occurred despite the deep recession.
