UPDATE: Rockville City Council candidate Tom Moore provides some updated information:
"I read with interest your posting about John Britton's possible political plans, and wanted to point you to some slightly better information: This newer Patch posting notes that there are now four candidates qualified for the ballot (rats!), the addition being Virginia Onley. Also, current councilmember Mark Pierzchala is running for real and is almost certainly going to get on the ballot."The Gazette today reported that Rockville City Councilmember John Britton announced his retirement from office:
"John Britton, 56, will end a decade-long history of involvement in city activism and a four-year stint on the council."The article also noted that Britton was contemplating a future run for public office:
“Just nothing in the short-term,” he said.
