Two seats were open--he finished third, a respectable third bc it was against a mayor pro tem, a former council member and an incumbant. <BR/><BR/>I guess he did a few campaigns there before Rudiak . . . don't know how he did with them. <BR/><BR/>My first impression was he wasn't too good, but I'm reconsidering. <BR/><BR/>Being young and energetic isn't necessarily a bad thing. But at the same time, having a little sense, manners and a some wisdom can go a long way--meaning having an entire staff full of young inexperienced people may be to their detriment. <BR/><BR/>Still working on the other "funny" person . . .Lady Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428096414178188141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181152076682017239.post-59503861180225168652009-01-31T11:28:00.000-05:002009-01-31T11:28:00.000-05:00Hey, if you can present a case against Danny LaVel...<I>Hey, if you can present a case against Danny LaVelle that doesn't overly involve Jake Wheatley or Sala Udin (Zzzzzzzzzzz...)
