MODERATORS
I don't know much about the guy's track record in council. But I did tune into the debate before the mayoral election, and two things stood out. First, was that he sounded incredibly reasonable, which was a surprise to me as my leftist echo chamber had me thinking he was an extremist. Second, the whole debate was respectful, sane, and that all the candidates seemed to want the best for the city.
Municipal political partisanship will destroy what seems to me to be the last bastion of cooperative politics in the country, which is a real shame.
