When I got on the council four years ago, I joined Denis Kelly in starting a moderate reform movement. Because we [Democrats] had a 5-0 council majority, we did not feel we needed to always agree 5-0, which is a sense the three of us [Democratic candidates] share now. The promise of the [GOP] coalition was to open it up, to invite the two holdovers to work with them, to continue our progress. That came to a grinding halt. There was no conversation or bipartisan involvement, to the point where Denis and I, two elected officials, were shut out of the running of the government. ...
