Thanks for posting this Bret. As a relatively new council member who is trying to work hard and act in good faith, I am mystified by what is going on. I am indeed doing as you suggest. It is entirely discouraging, with the amount of work we have on the table. Stephanie Perrin On 2015-10-21 11:19, Bret Fausett wrote:
While I still have posting privileges, let me just say that I am profoundly disappointed in the results of today’s election. In the weeks before the election, the recurring theme that I heard from everyone - every single person - was that we would not go wrong whichever candidate we elected. You had two excellent candidates today and managed to elect neither.
In my two years on the Council, I found that whatever challenges our respective communities faced, we, the Council, were able to work together, collaboratively, through whatever policy disagreements came our way. I encourage you to go back to your communities and share with them your own disappointment in this result and look for ways to work together in your years ahead.
