Congratulations to Don Samuels! I believe this is an important victory for the people of the ward, and I'm looking forward to another non-career politician joining the city council.
Any bets on the issues that drove Samuels' election? My guess is that "politics as usual" (aka the good old boys' network) was a major factor. Now I hope we can get some fresh air at the Hennepin County level - boondoggle projects like the Access/Excess Project are a pretty clear indication that it's time for a change in leadership.
