Hey All, I agree with Joe on this one! With all the conflict of interest stuff the city holds neighborhood board members accountable to, I think it only fitting the city council and others politicians are expected to behave a certain way, too.
And we have an election coming up in Florida for Govenor. Jeb's running for re-election. Joe, we will be watching all those ballots and touch screens carefully :) You know, the city council election is coming up here. Unlike Minneapolis, we vote for all the seats, not just those in our districts. There are people coming out from everywhere to run, and all sorts of votes will be split. They need some organization down here in the south.
