County Judge Buddy Villines apparently believes Republican opponent Phil Wyrick is making headway by his unqualified support for a Lake Maumelle watershed management plan. It has drawn some otherwise unlikely supporters — liberal environmental activisits, particularly — into the Wyrick camp.
Villines has issued a statement, which I reprint on the jump. It would have been better if he had also declared his support for the watershed management plan. He didn’t because he doesn’t think much of it, based on criticism he gave to me earlier this week. This is a legitimate issue, if not the only one in the race.
