You can find last night's Common Council Candidate Forum here. As an incumbent, I have to say that I was impressed by all of the challengers. Each struck me as thoughtful, independent thinkers who care deeply about the city. For all the faults of the current Common Council--and I think there are many--we seem to have at least succeeded in giving currency to the idea that rubber stamping is not an appropriate way to govern. None of the candidates last night struck me as rubber stamps for anything or anyone.
I have no idea if the voters intend on bringing me back, but if they do I can say with all sincerity that it would be a pleasure to work with any one of these folks.
