Ward Two: It's On!
I just want to quickly go back to talking about Jane Knodell's opponent in Ward Two, David Rogers. I spoke to him late last night but was too tired to blog it. I would have done it at work, but the network filters there block Blogger.com, so as usual I thought better of hanging out with The Carpetbagger all day, and focused on work instead. So now that I have six scrappy minutes to blog, let me tell you what I know about David Rogers...and sorry, no time now for prose. Bullets and Blurbs instead...
* David Rogers is 45 years old. Married with to kids attending Edmunds Elementary, he is a machinist who works for Suss MicroTec in Waterbury Center. He has lived in Vermont for twenty years, the last thirteen in Burlington.
*He says he's been attending a lot of city meetings lately, spurred on partly by recent events surrounding the "City Kids" program. He says a group of neighbors helped him gather the signatures needed to get him on the ballot.
*Rogers says City Hall is not paying enough attention to Burlington's infrastructure. As an example he says sewage runoff floods the corner of Russell and Booth Streets during heavy rain.*He says Progressive councilors including his opponent are not always communicative and seem closed off. Although he describes his politics as "just left of center," he said he is running as an Independent because he does not want to be beholden to a party.
...And that's all I got in my notes from that short phone interview last night. My initial impression of this candidate is that he seems like a serious man who could potentially give Knodell a challenge more serious than she has seen in many years. It could get interesting.
Haik - thank you for your great coverage of Burlington politics. I know it must take a lot of time. You are a fabulous source of info! I used to live on the same block as David and Jane and agree with you that this is a very interesting race. David is a really nice guy and a great neighbor. Having worked with Jane though, I have to say that I admire her enormously, and definitely would never want to run against her myself! The school board races are not as interesting as city council, but still will be worthy of watching. 48 hours is not a long time to get signatures in the middle of a cold and busy work week (both candidates are short in Ward 3), and the entry of Tom Treat in the race should give Ward 7 voters something to talk about. He has been the most vocal opponent to the idea of integrating the schools (one of the founding members of "No Bus For Us").

ReplyDeleteThere have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real money.
It's all about how to choose a proper companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.
You can get interested, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
