pudge's Journal: Nandor for Charter Review Commission

I was going to here announce my candidacy for public office, for the Charter Review Commission of Snohomish County. Every ten years, three residents from each of the five Council districts are elected for an unpaid one-year term to propose changes to county charter. The local GOP had only two names to put on the ballot for my district (the seats are nonpartisan, but the parties are still involved), and so I was recommended for the position by various people. On Monday I agreed, and on Tuesday I filled out the paperwork, and on Wednesday I prepared to file it.

But before I did, I was reviewing some documents, and discovered that elected county officials must be three-year residents of the county. I've lived here since June 2003. I wish someone had thought about that before I filled out the paperwork, but it was an educational experience, and at least I didn't actually file anything or announce my candidacy. Or opened a bank account, or ordered any campaign materials. That would've sucked.

HAH!

Karl Rove's manuverings backfire on another Republican!

I haven't seen any commentary on Roberts from your court... Anything we can expect from you feelings on Roberts?

At minimum I'd expect some commentary on either the reasonableness of the questions he'll be asked in confirmation hearings or what type of questions would be reasonable.

The Democrats and liberals just want to turn this into a mudfight. I have nothing to contribute toward that end. I welcome an intelligent dissection of Roberts' qualifications and views, but I have no desire to engage the Democrats in a fight I know they are going to lose anyway, the only purpose of which is to try to bring everyone down to their level.

bummer

Keep trying there Pudge... I'll vote for you.

Let me be the first to ask...

When did you stop beating your wife?
