A couple of years ago, Roger Legrand reluctantly met with Patrick Von Dohlen for breakfast.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss whether Legrand, a political consultant and former City Council aide, wanted to run the 2019 council campaign for Von Dohlen, a financial adviser and culture-wars crusader.
