New Albany City Council candidate suffered stroke; Stewart has been recovering since early August, by Eric Scott Campbell (News and Tribune)

Dick Stewart, a candidate for New Albany City Council, suffered a stroke in early August, affecting his ability to speak, friends and colleagues confirmed Friday.

To be sure, strokes are a nasty business. Dick and I disagree on almost every pertinent issue, but I wish him the best of luck and speed in his recovery.
