I think there should be an election again in 93 because I think it is unfair to the constituents of wards -- such as the 8th ward, to have a lame duck council member for 3 years. However I agree that Biernat should do the honorable thing and resign - just because if he gets off legally, it will be by a technicality. I think these two issues are separate ones.
