Mayor Bradley Stonewalls On Freetown
posted (November 28, 2013)
As we rpeot4ed earlier this week Lee Mark Chang has stepped down in the Freetown Division - clearing the way for a new candidate. Many are pushing for Mayor Darrell Bradley to take his eyes off Caribbean Shores and focus instead on Freetown. We're told the PM even announced to Cabinet on Tuesday that he and the Mayor had agreed to that. But, when we spoke to Mayor Bradley yesterday, he didn't want to discuss it:..

Jules Vasquez
"We know that Lee Mark Chang has vacated his caretaker seat in Freetown. We know the Party has been prodding you for some time to offer yourself in Freetown. What is the outlook?"

Mayor Darrell Bradley
"The situation right now is really not focused on any general elections matter. The Mayor and his office is really keeping maximum focused and attention and at this present moment I am not really looking at that."

Jules Vasquez
"However, Freetown is wide open. Will you consider it? Caribbean Shores is not."

Mayor Darrell Bradley
"Jules, at this present moment I am telling you that I am really focused on just finishing the office of Mayor."

At his press conference yesterday, the PM also brushed off any suggestion that Bradley was being hand-picked for that division. But if he's interested in the job, as we said, the deadline for the submission of names is tomorrow evening.
