Ed Adrian Update I

I talked to Ed Adrian today by phone. He said the tentative plans are for the W1 Dems to meet Thursday at the School District Office on Colchester Avenue from Five to Six. He stressed he did not know if another W1 Dem would seek the nomination and noted the possibility of the Progs fielding someone as well.

This fake reporter still doubts it, however. I foresee two parallel, uncontested races as of 2/1.

Ed said he and Sharon signed each other's petitions in the spirit of good will. When I asked if that precluded signing their own, he reminded me that they are two separate elections. Ah Ha! Also per Ed: He is telling his petition's signers of his intent to run Dem. Won't run if not Democratic Nominee.

Q&A-(Not exact quotes)

HB- Why Dems? Why not Progs or Greens?

EA- I like Big Tent party. More points of view than in smaller party. Less 'my way or highway' in Big Tent.

HB- Did Ian Carlton talk to you about your plans before announcing departure?

EA- You'll have to ask him.

HB- Councilor Adrian would focus on...?

EA- School Redistricting, Town-Gown, Library.

HB-Thanks

EA-Ciao.
