It's so hard to know what is of interest, since there are no attachments and its hard to find information about the agenda item . . . but here's my best educated guess about what is of interest.

News is slowing down . . . less local government to cover . . . except for spring elections.

Ok, I've probably just been to too many of these events to be anything but critical . . . but this isn't really what I expected to hear in the first 3 minute opening statements of the County Executive Candidates. They seemed odd to me. What do you think?

With the way things are going, good people on city committees are more important than ever!
