Or you can read the Strib version and get the leanings of not one, but three fencesitters:
"As the roll is called today, three votes will be telling: Council Members Scott Benson, Barbara Johnson and Gary Schiff. The three initially were committed to voting against McManus, then they moved to the middle. On Thursday, at least two moved toward yes. Both Johnson and Benson said they are "likely yes" votes for McManus. That would give him eight votes and confirm his nomination."

According to UV, after the mother complained about the religious content of the chalk talk during soccer practice, UV and the parent struck a compromise that shifted this to the end of practice so kids could feel free to leave if they didn't want to sit through such homilies.
