“He (Eugene Brown) has been a vocal and welcome critic of waste
and incompetence in city government, and has worked hard to make
it more accountable. In his first term on City Council, Brown has demonstrated a welcome capacity for speaking his mind when he sees
problems and raising red flags.”

The Herald Sun, endorsement editorial, Sept. 30, 2007

“In his four years on the council, he has proven that he is willing to
take a stand against corruption and wasteful spending…. He led the
fight against the refinancing scheme that offered little chance of sav-
ings, but lots of risk that would be covered by our taxes. He was also
one of the most outspoken critics of wasteful spending and question-
able contracting practices . . . ”

Friends of Durham Primary newsletter, Sept. 2007

“Eugene is a good guardian of the city’s finances and a good watch-
dog of community resources. He has compiled a creditable record as
an advocate for neighborhoods and a person who does his homework
and remains well-informed. With council members Mike Woodard and Diane Catotti, he has formed the core of a progressive and fiscally
responsible group on Council.”
