Payne says people want a change in Greenwood

By

By Mike Alexander GREENWOOD -- David A. Payne, a former police captain, is running against his former boss in the race for mayor of Greenwood. Charles E. Henderson, completing his third term as mayor of this city of nearly 50,000 inhabitants, was police chief when Payne was on the force. Henderson eked out a 400-vote victory over businessman Mike Campbell in the May 6 primary election. Now, Payne comes forward as an independent candidate and could push the incumbent to a down-to-the wire finish in the Nov. 6 general election. Payne, 52, is a 1973 graduate of Greenwood High School. He and wife Garnet have owned for 10 years Winchester Place, 300 N. Madison Ave. Located in Old Towne, it is a beautiful section of the community, with a picturesque pond swimming with geese and fish, and rolling grassy areas accented with flowers, shrubs and trees. They book weddings, events and meetings. Greater Greenwood Chamber of Commerce this year awarded the business couple its Pride and Progress Award.
