Personally, I think experience is important, and should be required.

Eric writes: I don't understand this divisive attitude. Why is everything always north/south, black/white, blue/red, etc with some people? Maybe that's part of the reason ZippinZack only got 30 votes or so in the election - good leaders unite, not divide. I also think that a good council president will give equal treatment to all areas of the city (another reason experience is a must). True, the 8th ward didn't get as much as it could have over the past 8 years, even though Brian was in tight with Jackie, but that has more to do with Brian not being much of a negotiator and giving his vote away to Cherryhomes bloc, which is now in the trash bin of history. Can we all finally lose the bitterness and "play nice"? Maybe that isn't lucrative for some. Sad. Eric Fyksen 8th Ward __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
