I hope Steve Brown will consider throwing his hat in the ring. It would be nice to have someone who actually fights for the average homeowner on the council.

The only thing that would get Steve Brown involved with this is if Gary Rower - the Delta pilot Steve beat in his first and only election - goes in and applies. In fact, I think I will call him right now and encourage him to do exactly that.

Other names that come to mind are Dan Gibbs - an easy appointment for the Logsdon crowd or maybe Rex Green - to add the developer's viewpoint. By the way, does anyone have Allison Chambers phone number?

So, do you like my new picture? meow

Let's see could it be the bartender from Y-Knots or Big Daddy's maybe Taco Mac or even the one at Hanger 74. Now all of them will fit in with the Logsdon, Boone and McMullen drinking crowd. You would have a pre-council meeting over drinks to decide what you will do at the meeting, and a post council drinking party to talk over all the things you did to continue destroying PTC. O yea I forgot to talk about the meeting, well Logsdon will still display his inability to read anything above a 3rd grade level, Boone will continue to say I agree to everything Logsdon says and the new council memeber can make sure there are 3 votes on every issue. Now my fellow citizens that is a POLITICAL MACHINE.
