That’s all folks, yes it took forever to get through all the questionnaires, but I thought that each person who actually filled out the questionnaire deserved their day in the spotlight since these questionnaires tend to get all shoved on a page even though the candidates put so much time into completing them.

That’s right, it’s not official official yet (aka there have been no press releases out of the campaign yet) but it appears that — from the rumors around town — that Beverly Johnson is dropping out of the race. So, if true, it could be that she simply realized that she was done with the City Council. Early rumors had reported that she was no longer interested in serving. But now with the wrench thrown in with her appointment to the Office of Administrative Law, perhaps it has something to do with that. I mean, the commute would be pretty hellacious.
Anyway, back to the crowdsourced questions.
