Some of us do believe that credentials are important: for example the totally inept city legal department that gave us the Kondirator settlement might be helped by some oversight from someone who has worked in outstanding Government and private legal departments.
[me] A gentle reminder that it was the Minneapolis political establishment and with its DFL monopoly that gave us the inept city legal department. Also that the DFL had no intention of endorsing Zerby until Joan Campbell, ruthless opponent of strong coffee and unconventional people, got trounced in the primary. But I appreciate that someone has finally come out and said the legal department is inept. I've had this sort of "why isn't the emperor wearing any clothes?" feeling every time that department did anything.
