Note: Not long after this podcast was recorded, Gary Rosen announced he was not running.
Brendan’s Tracy Novick yard sign was stolen, along with all the other Novick signs on his street.
Notable articles from Thursday’s paper:
The InCity Times celebrates their 8th anniversary. The Catholic Radical discusses banking and efforts to unionize local janitors. We mention that this effort may impact cleaning service owner Stephen Buchalter’s campaign. We also review some backstory of Joe O’Brien and Grace Ross, and how Mike Germain won the last election under unique circumstances.

“Desolated”
As I think you know, I’d be happy to come on the show anytime you like.
And thanks for the mention of the signs disappearing, which indeed was not my bringing them home to clean!
Doesn’t our mayor look a little like Kim Jong Il in her fashionable shades?
