There are over 1200 apointees that the Governor makes - many of those to commissions. There is an entire list on the city website - I believe it is over 75. Anyway, when I do candidate training and meet with folks interested in running for office I alsays start by asking what they've done, in their neighborhoods, in their neighborhood group or on any of these commissions. People need to get experience before they just jump into running for office - a commission is a good place to start. In regards to Wizard - that wasn't fair and is not allowed on this list. However, don't fret about too much. There are many applicants and I have heard through the grapevine it will again, most likely, be a person of color. Annie Young East Phillips REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. ________________________________
