In looking at the SBE report of mayor/town council candidates who have filed thus far in Smyth County’s towns, I see that Teresa Smith Crawford has filed in Saltville to run for council. This expands the field of candidates to 4 so far for the 3 seats up. The filing deadline is next Tuesday at 7:00PM and I hope many take advantage of it in considering serving the Town of Saltville and getting it on the right track (no pun intended with the recent rail removal) to success. As noted in the previous post on the subject, none of the 3 incumbents (Cahill, Holley, Hutchins) for council have re-filed as of yet. From what I hear about their conduct on the council, maybe they’d be wise not to seek re-election. However, I do predict they will file again almost at the deadline time in Marion.

I also know Teresa Crawford. She is the mother of a fellow Class of 2003 graduate from Northwood High School.
