Re: [StPaul] Benanav mayoral run?

[Anna Wasescha]

Politicians are making mistakes all along, just like the rest of us, but 
fortunately we don't have the local newspapers dogging us for some salacious 
gossip that will make their newspapers fly off the stand.  They do, and I 
take my hat off to people who are willing to expose their families and 
themselves to that kind of scrutiny in exchange for the privilege of leading 
us as a civic community.  It's the hardest, most important job around and we 
need smart people to do it.

Jay Benanav is a progressive Democrat with a solid history of working for 
the people on the issues that matter most to us.  As a politician, he has 
never let us down.  What happened in his personal life is not germane.  In 
2005, we will be electing a mayor, not ordaining a rabbi, minister, priest 
or mullah.  Benanav would make a great mayor.

All of us embroiled in the Ayd Mill Road controversy should remember that 
Jay campaigned last time around with a "no connect" button on his lapel at 
all times.  I've still got my t-shirts from that campaign and would gladly 
put them on to work for Benanav again for Mayor of Saint Paul.
