What's in a Name? Ask Wilder.

I'm a bit shocked that the domain www.wildervisions.com hasn't already been snatched up by some acid-tripping photographer in the backwoods of Saskatchewan, but Richmonders can rest assured that outgoing Mayor Doug Wilder has got far more to say in the months to come about the future of our city than most Canucks.

Which is why he's got his own weblog now -- Wilder Visions (appropriate tagline: It just doesn't get any crazier than this).

The people are always ahead of politicians. Citizens provide the support for the vision and impetus for government – fighting crime, protecting the river, improving schools, and so on.

I know that we all want our government and our City to succeed and achieve even greater heights.

I will continue to live in the City I love, and will maintain an active voice. To that end, I will be starting a new blog called www.WilderVisions.com that will cover a variety of both local and national topics.
