Wilder won't run for new term
Richmond Mayor L. Douglas Wilder said yesterday he would not seek re-election, apparently ending a high-profile career most notable for his role as the nation's first black governor. Colleagues said he "clearly left his mark" on the state, but his legacy may be dimmed by recent bitter and losing battles with the City Council.
