The second in a five-part series by 11 Alive features Mary Norwood, candidate for Atlanta Mayor.
I'm an Atlanta voter and am currently undecided on who will get my vote. I don't have a chosen candidate. My yard is void of any Atlanta Mayoral candidates' yard signs and I'm ready for a yard sign that I can proudly stake in my yard.
So Mary Norwood supporters, please tell me why she is the best choice for Atlanta Mayor.
** I personally don't think this is a good video clip of Mary Norwood. She's a lot more dynamic and personal.
Money quote:
She says her community activism will make her a collaborative, action-oriented mayor. "Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm all about action," she says.She says the challenges facing Atlanta are unique to each neighborhood, but concerns about city safety are universal.
"The city has to feel safe. You have to be safe in your home. You have to be safe on the streets," she says.
She says new technologies, neighborhood involvement, and code enforcement will be key to making this happen. "We have to give code enforcement teeth," she said.

I'm sorry, will someone please explain how code enforcement will help with Atlanta's robbery and burglary problem.
Its not going to make a significant change, but it will help to an extent.
A neighborhood full of dilapidated crack houses and knee-high grass (mostly due to absentee landlords) is going to have more crime than one with the same style homes that look like someone might actually be caring for them.
