(April 13, 2001) -- 3d district Councilman Frank Colonna has told LBReport.com he won't run for Mayor in 2002 as long as incumbent Mayor Beverly O'Neill is committed to waging a write-in campaign for a 3d term.
LB's voter-enacted term limits law prevents two-term Mayor O'Neill's name from being formally printed on the ballot, although it does permit write-in candidacies.
"We have a common support base," Councilman Colonna told LBReport.com in a telephone interview. adding that "as long as she's made clear her commitment to wage write-in campaign, my desire is to continue what I'm doing in the 3d district."
