A BAD START GONE GOOD
“Off to a Bad Start” was my headline for last week’s CURIOUS CITY column. Boy, a lot has happened since then.
The bad start I referred to was the partisan, tone deaf votes for mayor and mayor pro tem by the old Council members, which went to veteran Sue Himmelrich and brand new kid Kristin McCowan, respectively. But the meaning was in how the votes were cast.
Sue had made it clear in advance that she wanted the top post. Two years, not one, thank you. A lot of what you see done by Council members that you don’t like or understand, is done for prestige and ego, not money. For one thing, if you’re on the Council, you might become Mayor!

To start judging our new City Council. Give them some time. Give them a break!
Yeah, that’s what I heard about Trump, from people who were ignoring or glossing over what he had done and shown himself to be his entire life. Now because of the terrible damage he did in four years, the planet has a lot less time than before. So does our city, in this time of a pandemic and economic collapse.
This, of course, is not one person, it’s a dynamic of seven individuals on City Council. But we also know them, from their years of leadership.
