Submitted by emmettoconnell on Sun, 12/30/2007 - 7:46am.For me, in reading and thinking about the choices for the council, here is my ranking:
1. Danielle Westbrook
2. Amy Tousley/James Reddick
3. Joan Machlis
4. Jim Boyde
5. Karen Rogers
6. Ann Varpness/Karen Veldeer
Danielle, Amy and James are really all tied for first, but I put Danielle on top becuase I know here and because I like the passion and clear thought she put into her application. But, either one would be a great councilmember. After that, each applicant either lacks the experience I think is appropriate or is someone I just don't want on the council.
But, don't forget to go here and vote. Here is a link to read the applications and my reviews.
Great set of posts, Emmett
