Louise Bjornson got my vote. Yep, ballot is mailed. And I found myself at the moment of truth thinking that, you know, we will get at least three smart bucks on the new council and four if Bill Geyer is elected. We can use a little softness. Louise might be able to teach those guys a bit about how to be accessible to citizens. She has our city's best interests in mind and she will certainly do no harm. She might do some real good. I know she will do her best.

My fears also got the best of me. I watched Lilliquist in action on the southside before he filed for city council. He is largely running because of planning issues in his neighborhood. He has not been involved in any city wide processes nor civic issues. My concern is the At Large council member should especially be interested in city wide issues. I feel his interests are too narrow. He needs to serve on some commissions first or be active in public processes for a few years.

So a belated V for my endorsement goes in front of Louise's name.
