An attempt by the Coalition for Unity, Respect and Equality for All (CUREA) to block Glen Grant from succeeding Sen. Bernadette Clement as mayor fell flat on its face, as it should have.
Grant, the group charged, is a poor example of leadership when it comes to the diversity file; he was painted as a poor fit to fill the mayoral vacancy left by Clement’s departure. Based on some weak arguments, he scored a D-minus on the organization’s diversity scorecard.
