So the endorsements are done...

and I expect you to give them exactly as much weight as my reasons carry with you.  If you vote for an entirely different slate, I'll not think the worse of you and besides, I'll never know.

There are more good people running for at-large council seats than I can vote for.  I won't be upset if Elizabeth Blackstone wins a seat; she's more than smart enough to do the job and she's willing to learn it.  Jared Foster is so full of enthusiasm that he would probably do well, at least to start.  Jim Butler certainly has the experience to serve well.  But I'm satisfied with my recommendations of Cossey, Kott and Okray.

What I'm not satisfied with is the dearth of other recommendations.  The newspaper is silent and will probably remain so.  Based on my experience, the KDH motto is  "All the news that won't upset an advertiser."  And where are the many other interested parties?  Blog space is free at
blogger.com
and at
wordpress.com
to name just two sites.  If you have an opinion, put it there or elsewhere. Let me know, and I'll link to it.

Or to save you trouble, feel free to list your slate in a comment to this post.  Include your reasoning or not, as you wish.
