June 22, 2004 N&O "Janet on the proposed 2005 City of Raleigh Budget" Crowder said the council is at a stalemate and appears ready to "slash and burn to get this thing done." "That might be where we end up," he said. "It's just making cuts." Cowell agreed but said doing that just puts the need for new projects on top of more next year. "It could be that we just end up cutting everything and not have a tax increase and not keep up with needed city services," she said. "I don't think that's the way to do it. And it makes next year into a really, really tough year." June 2, 2004 N&O "Council debates future of Fayetteville Street" Council member Janet Cowell said she worried about undoing the earlier work, which was negotiated over dozens of meetings. "This is introducing something right at the end," she said. "I'll put my trust with the public." April 2. 2004 "Cowell announces bid for Senate seat" City Council member Janet Cowell, a Democrat, told supporters Thursday that she will run for state Sen. Eric Reeves' seat, which includes parts of Raleigh, Cary and Morrisville. Reeves, also a Democrat, announced this week he's not seeking re-election. In an e-mail message to supporters, Cowell said she wants to focus more on issues of jobs and economic development, education and growth strategies. Cowell is marketing manager for SJF Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in companies that provide entry level jobs. Her council term ends in December 2005. If she wins the seat, the council will appoint a replacement. Democrats Carter Worthy, a commercial real estate broker, and Jack Nichols, a Raleigh lawyer and former Wake commissioner, also have said they will run for the seat. Republican Mark Bradrick, an insurance adjuster and former Marine, announced his candidacy in January. The primary is scheduled for July 20.                 2006-2007 Articles 2005 Articles 2004 Articles 2003 Articles  2002 Articles 2001 Articles
