I received phone calls from two sitting City Councilman this afternoon telling me that Don Weeks has dropped his Mayoral bid in order to challenge Bob Dyer for the Centerville District seat on the Virginia Beach City Council.
Weeks served on City Council from 1998 to 2000. Running for reelection he got only 26% of the vote against Bob Mandigo.
He had no chance for Mayor; he has only a mathematical chance for Council.

If the citizens are unhappy then Dyer will lose his seat. I think you give him too much credit on council when he really has done nothing for Centerville and VB as a whole.
Weeks is weak (no pun intended). He is a failed half-term former councilmember who jumped out of the race at the order of his masters at the VBTA.
Weeks was strong enough to win a seat on council in a prior race. Don't fool yourself as he is a real candidate in a pool of(so far) only two. If you think VBTA, then you better reconsider that idea. I've heard from other who like Don Weeks but didn't believe he had a prayer in the Mayor's race.
My take is that if people wanted Weeks back on Council, there would have been much more interest in his aborted Mayoral candidacy.
Here's a Friday Funny for you, Henry...

Oh please...Weeks won a 2-year stint and was crushed as part of the DEW team. That he was affiliated with Dean and Erb shows that he is a VBTA guy.
That he dropped out of the mayor's race that he has been running for OVER A YEAR as soon as his leader Moss jumped in shows that he is one of them.
Makes no difference...the more races the VBTA fringe loses in November the better. Dyer will clean his clock.
