Im an independent, he says.
I didnt authorize it.
Chuck wrote that and I didnt see it until it was in print.
But I still respect Chuck and really appreciate him.
And I like Dunbar and Antico.
They speak for a segment of our union.
Ive got to get Chuck to slow his roll, Yarbrough laughed.
Chuck is going a little too fast for me.
I want us to win this strike.
I dont want to be a stick in a pile of shit stirrin stuff up.
Yarbrough wouldnt say who hes going to vote for nationally.
I listen to everybody and weigh what they say.
I still havent made up my mind 100%.
Ive known him long time.
Hes a good friend, he said.
I have listened to what Pete says, but I also listen to everybody else.
Winning election by one vote, he said, has been quite a whirlwind.
But many other local races have already been decided.
