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:

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."
