| Heard on the Channel 12 news at 5 that Don was taken to the hospital today with breathing problems. They said he had been sick in bed when the problem started. Hope it's not real serious. |

Mayor Don Williamson's health problems are not life-threatening, said Larry Ford, a longtime friend.
Williamson was taken to the hospital about 4 p.m. today because of breathing problems.
Larry Ford, chief operating officer of the Downtown Development Authority, said he saw Williamson earlier this week and that the mayor was suffering from the flu -- with symptoms including bad congestion and problems with his sinuses.
Ford said he's been concerned about Williamson's health lately because of the stress of the election and his heavy work load at City Hall.
"I tried to get him to take a vacation in Florida but he wouldn't do it. He's a workaholic," Ford said. |

| Most politicians are lawyers, and that's lawyerspeak. They have their own language that even they don't understand. It's like arguing over what the meaning of "is" is. |
