Please don't interpret this for or against any specific candidate, but I hope the DFL schedules its Senate District 60 endorsing convention BEFORE the city endorsing convention for the school board June 1.
That way if Catherine Shreves, who announced her candidacy for the state Senate, loses the endorsement to Scott Dibble or another DFL hopeful, she can still be endorsed in a school board seat. (Shreves has said she will abide by the endorsement, as has Dibble.) I don't know if Catherine or Scott would favor or oppose this suggestion, though a Strib story tomorrow indicates she might look upon it favorably: http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/2117483.html Conceivably, this gives delegates an "out" to pick Dibble but keep Shreves on the school board, and thus might hurt her Senate bid. I prefer to look at it as a way to keep a good public servant in office, while also allowing her a chance to "move up."
