Eva, the individuals who voted on the recommendation to the full Stonewall Board for endorsement and unacceptability had a variety of reasons to not find Ms. Lickness acceptable. I don't know each individual's reasons but, among them I heard was that she had run as Independent (hiding her Republican affiliation at that time) against a great friend of the GLBT community, Jim Niland; her lack of sensitive to neighborhood concerns in the Fair/Oaks area of Whittier; and, yes, her not abiding by the DFL process. Secondly, Jackie Cherryhomes and any of her "people" were not in attendance during the screening or voting to help Dean Kallenbach!!! The only person from the mayor's staff that was present during the voting was original founder of the GLBT DFL Caucus and 6th Ward resident and current chair of Linda Berglin's campaign, Vernon Wetternach. Also, unlike many of the other ward screening contests, most of the participants were actual residents of the Sixth Ward. Too many of the detractors to the actions taken by screening participants like to invent ghosts and unfactual events!!!!! I might also add that while the Stonewall Board did give Mr. Kallenbach their endorsement the Board decided to find Jonathan Palmer acceptable.
