Dennis O'Connor: Preservation ideas
Disappointed, but not surprised, was my reaction to the City Manager handpicking the historic preservation committee members. Disappointed because applicants were specifically told by (the City) Council president that they were not going to handpick this committee, that they wanted to make sure every applicant was interviewed to ensure fairness.

Kerry Hart: The ethics of diversity

One candidate is very skeptical; another hints strongly that he is in favor; one says flat-out that he is in favor. Others use timeworn platitudes such as "growth is manageable." Since moving here 46 years ago, when this was truly a small town, I have seen nothing but lip-service paid to growth control.
